Moya Cannon is one of Ireland's leading poets and we were honored to spend time in her lovely company in the summer of 2017, discussing her friendship and inspirations of the late philosopher and poet, John Moriarty, for the filming of "Conversations with my Godfather". 

Here, Moya recites her poem titled, "Carrying the Songs", which can be found in her collection of poems, a book titled "Carrying the Songs", on Carcanet Press https://www.carcanet.co.uk/cgi-bin/indexer?product=259 and Amazon.

The music that accompanies Moya in this video is by Irish harpist, Kathleen Loughnane, who plays "Lament for O Domhnaill", which can be found on her CD, "Harping On, available on Amazon, Discogs and All Celtic Music.
