Abstract

Born in Warrington, UK, Seán Hewitt is an acclaimed author and poet, critic, and lecturer at Trinity College Dublin, where he now resides. He has been hailed as one of the most talented young voices in Irish literature and culture today, and he has received a number of awards, including the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature (2022) and The Poetry School’s Resurgence Prize (for eco-poetry). Hewitt’s writing explores themes of identity, memory, and the environment, with particular attention given to how the episodic or temporal is linked to larger historical and cultural issues. This interview was conducted online in the Spring of 2024 with the aim of showcasing his work and his ideas to an Italian audience.
