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.
This is a new release of the original 1950 edition.
Modern Irish Poetry: A New Alhambra introduces four leading modern Irish-language poets: Seán Ó Riordáin, Cathal Ó Searcaigh, Máirtín Ó Direáin, and Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill. This critical study provides an in-depth analysis (in English) of their work in its own international context.
