The International Poetry Forum is honored to welcome back Irish poet Paul Muldoon for a special reading at Carnegie Lecture Hall (Oakland) on Friday, March 12, 2027, 7:00PM, in partnership with Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and in conjunction with a visit to the American Conference for Irish Studies.

Paul Muldoon is one of the most decorated writers in the world today. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the T.S. Eliot Prize, and the Griffin Poetry Prize (among many other honors), Muldoon has served as the Ireland Professor of Poetry, the Oxford Professor of Poetry, the poetry editor for The New Yorker, as well as the Howard G. B. Clark '21 University Professor in the Humanities and Founding Chair of the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University.

Muldoon previously visited the International Poetry Forum in 2008, when he was recipient of the Forum's Charity Randall Citation, an award granted to fellow Irish poets Seamus Heaney and Eavan Boland, among many others.

This event is free, but tickets are expected to go fast; register here.
