  • The Immigrant in Contemporary Irish Literature
    From Byzantium to Ballymun A review of Literary visions of multicultural Ireland: the immigrant in contemporary Irish literature. Ed. Pilar Villar-Argáiz. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2014. Pb 2015. 273 pps. A book like Literary visions of multicultural Ireland: the immigrant in contemporary Irish literature has been long-awaited, and since its publication the topic of migrations has become more burning than ever. That the phenomenon of immigration is more striking in Ireland than in many other countries is due to several factors, the most striking of which would be that Ireland has (1) known a centuries-long history of emigration, (2) an almost equally long history of being colonized and (3) a small population on a much divided island. In The Ex-Isle of Erin (1997) O’Toole punningly catches the inversion of the above situation as the tradition of ‘exile’ has been replaced by mass immigration while the country has been ‘un-islanded’ in its embrace by the EU’s vaster network of (mainly) continental countries. This densely printed book contains 18 contributions divided over four parts: Part I deals with ‘Irish multiculturalisms: obstacles and challenges’; Part II ‘‘Rethink[s] Ireland’ as a postnationalist community’; Part III focuses on ‘‘The return of the repressed’: ‘performing’ Irishness through intercultural encounters’; Part IV, finally, looks at ‘Gender and the city’. In this review I will first present the Irish sociological background as sketched by the contributors, then discuss each of the literary genres scrutinized in this book and conclude with a general assessment. That Ireland has undergone major changes since Mary Robinson became president is obvious.

'Ceasefire' has sub­ sequently been reprinted in Longley's collection The Ghost Orchid (London: Jonathan Cape, 1995, p. 39). The poem continues Longley's discovery in the classics, and in Homer particularly, of passages and incidents pertinent to the present. His collection before The Ghost Orchid, Gorse Fires (London: Seeker & Warburg, 1991), also contains moving, freely translated excerpts which press upon events in the North of Ireland. 2.

For more information, please see the item record link above. Performance and Music in the Poetry of Ciaran Carson Seán Crosson Ciaran Carson has established a reputation as one of Ireland’s most important poetic voices. However, Carson is also an accomplished musician whose work reflects that liminal borderland that has always existed between Irish music and Irish literature. As Sean O’Boyle in his book The Irish Song Tradition notes ‘[a]s far back as our national records go, music and poetry have always been associated’.1 Music is a prominent theme throughout Carson’s work, with songs and musical allusions frequently a feature of his poems. While music has influenced Carson’s work thematically, it has played a formative role in one of the most distinctive features of his poetry until recently – that is his use of the long line. This paper will argue that it is even possible in some of his poems to find comparable metres with those found in forms of traditional Irish music.
