One of the most engaging voices contemporary spirituality in is
that of the Irish poet, Padraig O'Tuama. This second poetry
collection arises out of a decade of his hearing stories of people
who have lived through personal and political conflict in Northern
Ireland, the Middle East and other places of conflict. These poems
tell stories of individuals who have lived through conflict: their
loves and losses, their hope and generosity. One poem, 'Shaking
hands' was written when Padraig witnessed the historic handshake
between Queen Elizabeth II and Martin McGuinness, who has since
used the poem publicly. The phrase 'Sorry for your troubles' is
used all over Ireland. It comes directly from an Irish phrase, yet
Irish has no word for 'bereavement' - the word used is 'troibloid'.
So the phrase would be better translated 'Sorry for your
bereavements'. With this in mind, this new book speaks evocatively
about a time when thousands of people lost their lives and many
thousands more lived through the searing pain of grief.
