O Poeta Durcan & Eu

A personal and subjective reflection by writer and film-maker Alan Gilsenan on his memories and relationship with Paul Durcan and his poetry. Gilsenan has collaborated with Durcan on three film projects: an experimental film of the long poem Six Nuns Die in Convent Inferno; a documentary profile, Paul Durcan: The Dark School (1944- 1971); and the poet provided the voice for ULYSSES | FILM, a visual installation in response to the iconic novel by James Joyce, commissioned for Dublin’s new MOLI (Museum of Literature Ireland).
