British Pound
Product Description
One of our best-loved poets, essential reading for anyone interested in modern Irish poetry. Ó Direáin (1910 -1988) described his uprootedness as ‘stoiteachas' and the Aran Islander as Civil Servant in dusty Dublin offices could be a metaphor for the displacement suffered by millions in the twentieth century.
Bhí stíl dá chuid féin ag an Direánach, ‘stíl choigilteach nach dual di a bheith fiontrach, stíl nár mhiste clasaiceach a thabhairt uirthi,' mar a deir Eoghan Ó hAnluain.
Is gnó dom féin fós
Dul ar thóir mo leice,
Dul ag tochailt fúm
Sa chlais chúng
D'fhonn teacht uirthi . . .
An dara cló, clúdach bog, An Clóchomhar, 1996
