Description
The first bilingual volume of poems by leading Irish twentieth-century poet Seán O RíordáinIn the mid-twentieth century, a new generation of poets writing in Irish emerged, led by the young Seán O Ríordáin, among others. O Ríordáins work has stood the test of time well, and he continues to engage todays Irish readers and writers. This well-rounded selection of poems brings most of O Ríordáins works to English-language readers for the first time. The poems appear in their original Irish alongside English translations by some of Ireland's leading poets. Also included for the first time in English is O Ríordáins essay What Is Poetry?, considered an extraordinary touchstone of critical insight for poets and literary commentators. The volume reflects O Ríordáins seven main concerns: poetry and its place in the artists life; the plural self; the relationship between the individual and society; gender relations; the nature of animals; Ireland, its language and culture; and mortality.
