In 2011, while working on the Trinity College Dublin Oral History Collection, I met and recorded Brendan Kennelly. This was a wonderful opportunity to spend some time with him and get to know him better. I recorded his life story at length in the Long Room in the old library at Trinity College. May he rest in peace.
