Donegal poet features in U2’s blockbuster Letterman documentary

written by Staff Writer March 22, 2023
FacebookTweetLinkedInPrint

The career and work of a Donegal poet has been opened up to a new generation of fans after her work was featured on U2’s new streaming documentary.

Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman has already been streamed millions of times around the world since its release on Disney+ on March 17th last.

The interview style documentary tells the story of the band’s rise as told to chat-show host Letterman when he visited Dublin last year.

One of those who talks extensively to Letterman is Frames frontman Glen Hansard.

But Hansard also cites (raves!) the work of Dunfanaghy-born poet Moya Cannon.

Donegal poet Moya Cannon

Cannon’s Collected Poems has been published by Carcanet Press, Manchester (2021). Her sixth collection, Donegal Tarantella, was issued by Carcanet Press in 2019.

In her poems, history, archaeology, prehistoric art, geology and music figure as gateways to deeper understanding of our relationship with the earth and with our past while migration is a core theme, the migrations of birds, of people, of culture.

She has been editor of Poetry Ireland Review and is a member of Aosdána.

Now, thanks to Hansard’s love of Cannon’s work, so too are millions of inquisitive U2 fans from around the globe.
