Gala Event 'Lady Gregory's Legacy' in Lough Cutra Castle, Gort presented by The Yeats and Lady Gregory Heritage Trail, Galway with Tale of the Gael and The Seven Woods Quartet. Saturday May 9th and Sunday May 10th 2015 as part of the Yeats 2015 celebrations. The castle with its magnificent lake views and elegant interior is a private home, but opens its doors for this event in a style reminiscent of the gracious hospitality offered to all by Lady Gregory herself when she lived on the neighbouring estate of Coole Park. Often viewed through the achievements of others, this specially comissioned performance brings Lady Augusta Gregory to the fore. Distinctly Edwardian at first glance, Augusta’s complex personality is as fascinating as her legacy is astounding. Tale of the Gael are no strangers to the task of presenting Ireland’s history and culture through music, anecdote, poetry and song. A core of traditional music tempered by classical overtones make a perfect backdrop for the life of Lady Gregory, who supported nationalism through her work, but who came from a background with strong colonial roots, and was married to a former British MP. The group has served Ireland as cultural ambassadors on many occasions, with performances in Europe, Africa, and the US and are much in demand wherever an authentic, yet elegant portrayal of Ireland’s culture and music is required. They are joined by The Seven Woods Quartet from Coole Music in Gort.

Carnaval Do Galway the Brazilian Community in Gort, 1999-2006
Irish Migration Studies in Latin America Vol. 4, No. 3: July 2006 www.irlandeses.org Carnaval do Galway The Brazilian Community in Gort, 1999-2006 By Claire Healy Gort Inse Guaire, or Gort, lies just north of the border with County Clare in south County Galway in the West of Ireland, and has a population of about three thousand people. It is situated between the Slieve Aughty mountains and the unique karstic limestone landscape of the Burren, in the heartland of the countryside made famous by Lady Augusta Gregory and the poet W.B. Yeats in nearby Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee. Nineteenth- century Gort was a thriving market town providing a commercial centre for its fertile agricultural hinterland. A Sabor Brasil shop on Georges St., Gort market was held in the market (Claire Healy 2006) square every Saturday, and sheep, cattle and pig fairs were held regularly. A cavalry barracks accommodating eight British officers and eighty-eight soldiers was situated near the town and the Dublin and Limerick mail coaches trundled along the main street. [1] Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, day labourers congregated on the market square in the centre of town hoping for a day’s seasonal work on a farm. By the 1990s, the town had become a quiet and sparsely populated shadow of its former self. Many of the shops along the main street, Georges Street, were shutting their doors for the last time, and the town was familiar to most Irish people only as a brief stop on the bus route from Galway to the southern cities of Cork and Limerick.

Derrickson: Pindar and Yeats: The Mythopoeic Vision Pindar and Yeats: The Mythopoeic Vision by ANN L. DERRICKSON ROM THE Greece of Pindar to the Ireland of Yeats, 2,300 years canle Fcoursing down the riverbed of history, washing over the widening delta of poetry, leaving layers of political context and literary convention. Yet a shape emerges, despite the shifts of eras and of nations, a form fun damental to the lyric. Thinking about the two poets together, then, helps produce an understanding of what is basic to and defines the genre oflyric poetry. Its nature is not specifically a matter of theme but a relationship of reference; action serves to describe spirit. As in Yeats's phrase from "The Circus Animals' Desertion," the prime concern is "Character isolated by a deed." Because it is on this plane of human spirit that meaning distills from the works of Pindar and Yeats, their writing shares the label "lyric." For both poets the vital creative tension exists between a given occasion and its associated images, rather than between concepts of present and past or fact and fantasy.

"The Wild Beauty I Found There": Plath's Connemara Gail Crowther
208 "The wild beauty I found there": Plath's Connemara Gail Crowther The yellows and browns of Connemara are wild. Undulating hills and loughs and inlets where the Atlantic creams over black rocks and the sky and sea join, held together by flat white clouds. The pungent gorse bushes and the roadside fuschias and mallows and spikey hedgerows border peat bogs and marshy brown puddles of water. Megalithic tombs balance their stones atop slight mounds and small cottages huddle in sheltered cut out gardens against the mountains and the sea. Wild Connemara is where Sylvia Plath initially chose to escape in the upset of her final year. A brief visit to Cleggan to stay with the poet Richard Murphy in September 1962 was enough to captivate her. In Murphy's words: "She seemed to have fallen in love with Connemara at first sight" (Bitter Fame 350). This paper aims to explore Plath's time in Connemara, the places she visited and her plans to winter there from December 1962 until late February 1963. While I will not be discussing at any great length the details of her visit there (this has already been done by her host Richard Murphy elsewhere), I will be drawing on Plath's own impression of Connemara using both published and unpublished letters that she wrote to family and friends. 1 Since Plath's journals from this time are lost/missing, letters are the main first-hand sources of information from this period in Plath's life. Following Plath's trail on a recent visit to 1 See Appendix III in Bitter Fame (348-359) and Murphy's autobiography The Kick.

Ed. Jane Grogan (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2010), Pp
Published in ‘Celebrating Mutabilitie: Essays on Edmund Spenser’s Mutabilitie Cantos’, ed. Jane Grogan (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2010), pp. 295- 314 After the Mutabilitie Cantos: Yeats and Heaney Reading Spenser Dr Jane Grogan, University College Dublin When Yeats first turned to Spenser in a professional way, it was a chance opportunity to generate some income. ‘It is good pay,’ he wrote to his friend, Lady Augusta Gregory, and ‘I may do it if I have not to do it at once. I have a good deal to say about Spenser but tremble at the thought of reading his six books.’1 He was writing of the invitation he had just received from an Edinburgh publisher to select and introduce Spenser’s poetry for their ‘Golden Poets’ series. That close encounter, when in due course it ensued, was to provide Yeats with several crucial things that he didn’t yet know he was looking for. What he ultimately found in Spenser was a potent model of Irish poetry in English in Ireland, a Protestant poetic progenitor and with it, an originary tradition for his own poetry. What he found in The Faerie Queene was a poetry of a Miltonic ‘grandeur’ (as he deemed it), and a metaphysical perspective on time, history and nature congenial to his own Platonist beliefs.2 And what he found beyond the six daunting books, in the fragment of the putative seventh book entitled the Two Cantos of Mutabilitie, was all of this My thanks to Anne Fogarty and Sharae Deckard for generously commenting on drafts of this essay.

Thomas Sturge Moore (1870-1944)
Thomas Sturge Moore (1870-1944) In April 1922, T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) invited T. Sturge Moore to contribute to the inaugural issue of The Criterion (1922–1935). Eliot’s vision was to create a new magazine with the best critical writing that was on offer. Although he had not previously met Sturge Moore, the elder poet and critic was for Eliot preeminent among his generation, no doubt for his classicist credentials. “I have great respect for your judgement and taste, and count it of the highest importance to secure your support” (Letters I, 656). Sturge Moore would contribute a long essay, spread across two issues, on modern treatments of the Tristan and Isolde legend. Sturge Moore is often classed as a Victorian poet on the grounds of his first, slender collection of poetry, The Vinedresser and other Poems, published in 1899. But his career spans nearly six decades, with his most important and innovative work appearing after the turn of the twentieth century. He was also versatile in several media: poetry and drama, wood engraving, book and stage design, translation, and art criticism. Not only was his work held in high regard by his contemporaries, his prolific output meant that he knew everyone of importance in the artistic and cultural world of his time. Born in Hastings on 4 March 1870, Thomas Sturge Moore was the first child of Daniel Moore and Henriette Sturge and elder brother of the Cambridge philosopher G.E. Moore. He grew up in the sumptuous suburban area of Upper Norwood, in south-east London near the Crystal Palace.
