My friend Micheal McCann, a brilliant young poet from Derry, has just launched his first full collection, Devotion, with Gallery Press. Here he reads the poem “How We Got Here, Where We’re Going”, from the collection. As he says, this is a found poem taken from this book, Biological Exuberance, which I first came across in the university library, while I was doing my PhD here in Belfast.

Rather disarmingly, the poem is dedicated to me. Thank you, Mícheál!
