Poet Theo Dorgan is making the most of it all

EXTRAORDINARY. It’s a word one hears often in conversation with Theo Dorgan. Its repetition speaks to his ability to appreciate life – something that could be a lesson to us all. But it also works, punningly, as a description of his work.
Dorgan comes often to the ordinary, and adds a little bit extra — a renewing turn of phrase, an injunction against taking things for granted, an invitation to stop and observe, to notice landmarks on this one-way, once-off journey with a shared inevitable end.
