- “How to Be Alone” by Pádraig Ó Tuama is part of our “Poetry Films” series, which features animated interpretations of beloved poems from our archive. Check out the full series here: • Poetry Films .
We know poetry to be a critical pillar of public life. It rises up when official language fails us. And it gives voice to what is human and what is true, how we connect and what questions we hold.
Poetry has moved to the heart of what we offer, which is why we’re excited to have partnered with talented illustrators, animators, and directors to reimagine poetry in visual, dynamic ways.

1:51 "Touch yourself. I'm serious. Touch your self. Take your hand and place your hand some place upon your body. And listen to the community of madness that you are. You are such an interesting conversation. You belong here.
Ah, Padraig, I am one of the many many who listen, and listen, and listen to you. Thank you!
OBRIGADA! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you dear Padraig! I wish someone would have told my childhood self “touch your self”. Primal healer!
Who would dislike this? It's gorgeous. Thank you for your using your gift of words, Padraig. And thanks to the lovely person who animated it. ❤️
I would love to see a video made like this for "what you missed the day you were absent from fourth grade"

These are so very beautiful, especially when read by the poets. thank you.
Such wisdom. Telling me how to live with my own confusing reality and to trust that there is something good there.
There is such remarkable wisdom and love here, Padraig. I will keep this poem handy. Thankyou!
I love this so very much. Thank you, Pádraig.
Exquisite. I will listen to this many times over. Thank you.

Excellence. Thank you 🕊🙏 The most difficult moments when I was physically alone was when I was very sick. Like it is normally, I reached for help which luckily I had it.
Stunning. I would like the last line to echo forever...
i tend to cast away ideas that cut through the soul like some self-help philosophy. this idea forces me to reconsider my own self-worth. Thank You Padraig. You are an interesting conversation as well. I just hope my own poetry is steered by inner discovery and light.
Everything I needed this morning- thank you 💗🕊😊

"Remember when you were younger
and you practiced kissing on your arm?
You were on to something then."
"Listen to the community of madness that you are."
"You belong here."

I delight in the saying 'the shadow and the shelter' of the...
The coin
I am in the middle
of something and
I am unsure where it is going
it is dangerous
and unnerving
at the same time…
In the shadow of these stories
I learned from
Jew town
and Cork
and Ireland
and the Catholic Church
and what I thought I heard
I find my mind
plays tricks on me
to protect me
from the fear
the shame
the unknown
death
I am in the middle
of something and
I am unsure where it is going
it is delicious
and unnerving
at the same time…
In the shelter of these stories
I learned from
Jew town
and Cork
and Ireland
and the Catholic Church
and what I thought I heard
I find the courage
to go forward
to relish the unknown
to live
