Book Launch

7 November 2024 at 6:30pm

The James Joyce Centre along with Poetry Ireland and IMRAM were proud to present the launch of Máire Mhac an tSaoi’s Amhráin Amhairgin, An Chailleach Bhéarra, agus Amhra Choilm Cille: Three Medieval Irish poems into Contemporary Irish. The editor of the book, Louis de Paor, read a selection of passages along with songs from Síle Denvir.

‘Tá údarás agus uaisleacht in uachtar sna dánta seo… mar atá sa chuid is fearr dá cuid dánta féin, an teanga á feacadh agus á lúbadh i gcúrsaí friotail agus comhréire agus í ag cruthú uair amháin eile gur uirlis lánacmhainneach í don té atá inniúil ar í a ionramháil mar is cóir…tá cúis eile againn a bheith buíoch go raibh Máire Mhac an tSaoi ag obair chomh fada is chomh flaithiúil sin inár measc.’
– Louis de Paor

The James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
