Beschreibung
Máirtín Ó'Direáin was born and raised on the Aran Islands-a world made famous by the writers of the literary revival, chiefly J. M. Synge-but worked in the civil service, first in Galway and then in Dublin for the rest of his adult life. This became the basis of a tension in his work between the rural and the urban. Editor Frank Sewell writes that Ó Direáin's "e;most important theme"e; was "e;the conflict and contradictions (for individuals and nations) that derive from the exchange between tradition and modernity...He frequently favored rural values over modern city modes of living,"e; while "e;in politics, he was (unsurprisingly) an anti-imperialist internationalist. But what this means is that, in practice, he was open to receiving art and ideas both from his own culture (past and present) and also from a wide range of languages and cultures."e; Simple in style, but deep in reflection, these poems beautifully convey the dilemmas of a poet of a minority language and traditional culture in a rapidly developing era. Edited and translated by Frank Sewell, with an introduction.
