Crash and Burn: A Poetry Reading in Memory of Michael O’Neill

Research English At Durham

In December 2018 we lost our colleague, teacher and friend Professor Michael O’Neill. Just before he died, Michael had completed his fifth collection of poetry, Crash and Burn and so, at a poignant poetry reading, we were able to remember Michael by celebrating the launch of this posthumous new work, while also looking back at his earlier poetry and the poetry he cared for by other writers.

This podcast is an edited version of readings and reminiscences from Dr Sarah Wootton, the poet Jamie McKendrick, and Michael’s colleagues Professor Stephen Regan, Professor Jason Harding and Professor Mark Sandy.
