    issue 1 / april 2014 / €2 a literary pamphlet You planted A TREE. Iwrote APOEM. Whatcould more anyone DO? My father, the least happy man I have known. His face retained the pallor The of those who work underground: the lost years in Brooklyn listening to a subway shudder the earth. Cage But a traditional Irishman who (released from his grille John Montague in the Clark Street IRT) drank neat whiskey until from new collected poems he reached the only element (the gallery press, 2012) he felt at home in any longer: brute oblivion. And yet picked himself up, most mornings, to march down the street extending his smile to all sides of the good, (all-white) neighbourhood belled by St Teresa's church. When he came back we walked together across fields of Garvaghey to see hawthorn on the summer hedges, as though he had never left; a bend in the road which still sheltered primroses. But we did not smile in the shared complicity of a dream, for when weary Odysseus returns Telemachus should leave. Often as I descend into subway or underground I see his bald head behind the bars of the small booth; the mark of an old car accident beating on his ghostly forehead. —2— 21 74 Sc ience and W onder by Richard Hayes Iggy McGovern A Mystic Dream of 4 quaternia press, €11.50 Iggy McGovern’s A Mystic Dream of 4 is an ambitious sonnet sequence based on the life of mathematician William Rowan Hamilton. Hamilton was one of the foremost scientists of his day, was appointed the Chair of Astronomy in Dublin University (Trinity College) while in the final year of his degree, and was knighted in 1835.

  • “Am I Not of Those Who Reared / the Banner of Old Ireland High?” Triumphalism, Nationalism and Conflicted Identities in Francis Ledwidge’S War Poetry
    Romp /1 “Am I not of those who reared / The banner of old Ireland high?” Triumphalism, nationalism and conflicted identities in Francis Ledwidge’s war poetry. Bachelor Thesis Charlotte Romp Supervisor: dr. R. H. van den Beuken 15 June 2017 Engelse Taal en Cultuur Radboud University Nijmegen Romp /2 Abstract This research will answer the question: in what ways does the poetry written by Francis Ledwidge in the wake of the Easter Rising reflect a changing stance on his role as an Irish soldier in the First World War? Guy Beiner’s notion of triumphalist memory of trauma will be employed in order to analyse this. Ledwidge’s status as a war poet will also be examined by applying Terry Phillips’ definition of war poetry. By remembering the Irish soldiers who decided to fight in the First World War, new light will be shed on a period in Irish history that has hitherto been subjected to national amnesia. This will lead to more complete and inclusive Irish identities. This thesis will argue that Ledwidge’s sentiments with regards to the war changed multiple times during the last year of his life. He is, arguably, an embodiment of the conflicting loyalties and tensions in Ireland at the time of the Easter Rising. Key words: Francis Ledwidge, Easter Rising, First World War, Ireland, Triumphalism, war poetry, loss, homesickness Romp /3 Table of contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 4 Chapter 1 History and Theory ...................................................................................................

  • 1 Title: Modernist Presses and the Gayfield Press a Brief Description Of
    Title: Modernist Presses and the Gayfield Press A brief description of the Gayfield Press is outlined in the Liam Miller’s history of The Dolmen Press which Miller owned and edited. Miller’s first publication was Thomas Kinsella’s The Starlit Eye which he printed on a wooden press: “loaned from Cecil French Salkeld, who used it to publish his Gayfield Press series of Dublin poets and artists”.1 Since the publication of Miller’s text, the Gayfield Press has received little attention and its history has been lost or forgotten. Furthermore, the role of Blanaid Salkeld as a publisher has been virtually erased from literary studies of the period. This paper sheds light on this little-known feminist press, and foregrounds the key role of Salkeld as a contributor, editor and publisher of the Gayfield Press. The consideration of this press as a feminist enterprise reinstates Salkeld back into the narrative of Irish publishing and enhances our understanding of private printing presses as a vital force for female creativity. Blanaid Salkeld (1880-1959), was born in India and brought up in Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin. Her early influences included poet John Keats and the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, a friend of her father, whom she met as a young girl in India.2 She married an Englishman in the Bombay civil service in 1902 but was widowed and returned to Ireland in 1906 with her son, the artist Cecil ffrench Salkeld (1903-1969). She joined the Abbey Theatre, appearing under the stage name Nell Byrne and took the lead role in George Fitzmaurice’s Country Dressmaker in 1907.
