Paul Kelly
Paul Kelly: Love Is Strong as Death - Listen
Writer Tony Birch talks with singer, songwriter and national treasure Paul Kelly about his new collection, Love is Strong as Death: Poems chosen by Paul Kelly.
Featuring more than 300 works from a range of ancient and modern authors, the deeply moving anthology speaks to the themes that have proven so powerful in Paul’s own music: love, death and everything in between.
Hear Paul discuss this lovingly curated tome and reflect on how poetry has influenced his life and music.
This recording is available on all major podcast platforms.
