The outgoing President of Ireland has created an album titled Against All Certainty, which will feature readings of ten of his poems. The album will include musical accompaniment from Myles O'Reilly and is expected to transport listeners through the President's life journey from childhood to adulthood. Previously, the President has published several poetry collections and participated in collaborative readings. The album, slated for release by Claddagh Records, continues his engagement with poetry and public life.
Listeners can expect to be "fully transposed into the incredibly interesting life and times of the poet before he became Ireland's President, from childhood to adulthood."
In 2018, when President Higgins was campaigning for re-election, the hashtag #keepthepoet went viral, reflecting his talent with words and the public support for his poetry.
The album, Against All Certainty, features readings of ten of the President's poems and includes collaborative music from Myles O'Reilly.
The President's known works include collections such as The Betrayal, The Season of Fire, An Arid Season, and New and Selected Poems.
