Recent Irish poems feature a street that disappears, a house that disappears, a door that opens from who-knows-where onto the platform of a train station, a clearing where something magical might happen but doesn’t (yet), and a mysterious encounter with an ‘other self’ in Knocksink Wood. Are these places actual settings, poetic creations, absurdist fantasies, or the result of wearing the wrong glasses? – That would be an ontological matter…and the subject of this talk.
