The Jamaican poet Lorna Goodison is coming to UCC for the launch of her ‘Dante’s Inferno’. Admission free, but tickets essential on eventbrite - use QR cose

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

A great way to round off the academic year for the Centre for Dante Studies in Ireland with our 10th Dante Dialogue - this one “Figurando il Paradiso”: Dante and the Representation of Paradise with Prof Martin Kemp and Dr Federico Rossi. Watch the recording here: youtu.be/l6VRK43L1fc?...

Really looking forward to Gaia’s talk on Digital Humanities and Dante!

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Superb lecture

Really looking forward to this
