The first bilingual volume of poems by leading Irish
twentieth-century poet Sean O RiordainIn the mid-twentieth century,
a new generation of poets writing in Irish emerged, led by the
young Sean O Riordain, among others. O Riordain's work has stood
the test of time well, and he continues to engage today's Irish
readers and writers. This well-rounded selection of poems brings
most of O Riordain's 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 Riordain's essay What
Is Poetry?, considered an extraordinary touchstone of critical
insight for poets and literary commentators. The volume reflects O
Riordain's seven main concerns: poetry and its place in the
artist's life; the plural self; the relationship between the
individual and society; gender relations; the nature of animals;
Ireland, its language and culture; and mortality.
