  • The Early Work of Austin Clarke the Early Work (1916-1938)
    THE EARLY WORK OF AUSTIN CLARKE THE EARLY WORK (1916-1938) OF AUSTIN CLARKE By MAURICE RIORDAN, M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University March 1981 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1981) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Early Work (1916-1938) of Austin Clarke. AUTHOR: Maurice Riordan, B.A. (Cork) M.A. (Cork) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Brian John NUMBER OF Fll.GES: vi, 275 ii ABSTRACT Austin Clarke dedicated himself to the ideal of an independent Irish literature in English. This dedication had two principal consequences for his work: he developed a poetic style appropriate to expressing the Irish imagination, and he found inspiration in the matter of Ireland, in hex mythology and folklore, in her literary, artistic and __ religious traditions, and in the daily life of modern Ireland. The basic orientation of Clarke's work determines the twofold purpose of this thesis. It seeks to provide a clarifying background for his poetry, drama and fiction up to 1938; and, in examining the texts in their prope.r context, it seeks to reveal the permanent and universal aspects of his achievement. Clarke's early development in response to the shaping influence of the Irish Revival is examined in the opening chapter. His initial interest in heroic saga is considered, but, principally, the focus is on his effort to establish stylistic links between the Anglo-Irish and the Gaelic traditions, an effort that is seen to culminate with his adoption of assonantal verse as an essential element in his poetic technique.

  • 20Th - Century Poetry in Irish
    MONTHLY REVIEW June 2016 POEMS OF REPOSSESSION 20th - century poetry in Irish This review has become a long essay, so I am separating it into four headed sections: IRISH AND ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS POETS CONCLUSIONS IRISH AND ENGLISH The title of this anthology takes up from another definitive bilingual anthology by Seán Ó Tuama and Thomas Kinsella, AN DUANAIRE 1600-1900, Poems of the Dispossessed (1981), and echoes the title of Ó Tuama’s Repossessions, Selected Essays on the Irish Literary Heritage (1995). The editor, Louis de Paor, writes in his Introduction: More than three decades after Seán Ó Tuama and Thomas Kinsella introduced a new readership to poetry in Irish from the 17th to the 19th century in their ground-breaking An Duanaire: Poems of the Dispossessed 1600-1900, an ‘act of repossession’ is still required for Irish poetry produced between the cultural revival of the Celtic Twilight and the economic insanity of the Celtic Tiger that brought the second millennium to a close. The book is dedicated (in Irish) to ‘my father and mother and in memory of Seán Ó Tuama’. Ó Tuama was that rare phenomenon, a university professor who was also a true poet, and several 20th century poets in Irish were taught by him. De Paor does not make it clear that the phrase ‘an act of repossession’ is a direct quote from Ó Tuama, and peculiarly (a Freudian slip?), in his Bibliography he mis-titles Ó Tuama’s Repossessions, Selected Essays on the Irish Literary Heritage (1995) by leaving the word Repossessions out of it.

  • John Montague - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Montague - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Montague(28 February 1929--) John Montague is an Irish poet. He was born in New York and brought up in Tyrone. He has published a number of volumes of poetry, two collections of short stories and two volumes of memoir. He is one of the best known Irish contemporary poets. In 1998 he became the first occupant of the Ireland Chair of Poetry. <b>Early Life</b> John Montague was born in Brooklyn, New York, on February 28, 1929. His father, James Montague, an Ulster Catholic, from County Tyrone, had gone to America in 1925 to join his brother John. Both were sons of John Montague, who had been a Justice of the Peace, combining his legal duties with being a schoolmaster, farmer, postmaster and director of several firms. John continued as postmaster but James became involved in the turbulent Irish Republican scene in the years after 1916, particularly complicated in areas like Fermanagh and Tyrone, on the borders of the newly divided island. Molly (Carney) Montague joined her husband James in America in 1928, with their two elder sons. John was born on Bushwisk Avenue, St. Catherine’s Hospital, and spent his earliest years playing with his brothers in the streets of Brooklyn, putting nickels on the trolley lines, playing on a tenement roof, seeing early Mickey Mouse movies. <b>Return to Garvaghey</b> Although Uncle John ran a speakeasy, where he employed his brother, James Montague did not find life in New York easy during the Depression years.

  • CIPF 2013 PDF.Pdf
    Welcome The Munster Literature Centre/Ionad Litríochta an Deiscirt has been hosting spring literary festivals in Cork since the mid nineties. Last year in recognition of the central position of poetry in Cork’s contemporary literary life we decided to make the festival exclusively poetry. But we don’t feature just Cork poets. Every year we invite brilliant bards from across the globe. English is the dominant language of the festival: we always present a strong showing of poets from these islands and the Americas, but we also feature poets working in Irish and many European languages, including, this year, Estonian, Maltese, Slovenian, Swedish and Welsh. The European dimension to this festival is especially important in 2013 as it coincides with Ireland’s assumption of the European Presidency. The months of January to June will see Ireland proudly celebrating its integral place at the heart of European civilisation, politically and culturally. Special events will happen throughout Ireland featuring European writers and artists and throughout Europe involving Irish writers and artists. The Munster Literature Centre/Ionad Litríochta an Deiscirt and the Cork Spring Poetry Festival is proud to be a part of these celebrations. Cork is a picturesque city of hills and waterways, grand Georgian parades and characterful 17th century alleyways leading off streets which twist and turn to fit in with the topography. Restaurants with international reputations serve the best of local produce, and a proliferation of traditional pubs boast of the best in live music. Come to Cork to experience all this and the Cork Spring Poetry Festival. You’ll get a huge welcome.
