Readings From The Book Of Exile

One of the most intriguing and engaging voices at Greenbelt is that of the Irish poet, Padraig O Tuama and this is his first, long-awaited poetry collection. Hailing from the Ikon community in Belfast and working closely with its founder, the bestselling writer Pete Rollins, Padraigs poetry interweaves parable, poetry, art, activism and philosophy into an original and striking expression of faith. He recently toured the UK and the US with Pete Rollins Insurrection tour. US hosts included Brian McLaren and Rob Bell. Padraigs poems are accessible, memorable profound and challenging. They emerge powerfully from a context of struggle and conflict and yet are filled with hope.
