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.

A Poet's Rising
A POET’S RISING A POET’S RISING In 2015 the Irish Writers Centre answered the Arts Council’s Open Call for 2016 and A Poet’s Rising was born. Our idea was this: to commission six of Ireland’s most eminent poets to respond through poetry focusing on a key historical figure and a particular location associated with the Rising. The poets would then be filmed in each discreet location and made permanent by way of an app, freely available for download. The resulting poems are beautiful, important works that deserve to be at the forefront of the wealth of artistic responses generated during this significant year in Ireland’s history. We are particularly proud to be producing this exceptional oeuvre in the year of our own 25th anniversary since the opening of the Irish Writers Centre. • James Connolly at Liberty Hall poem by Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin • Pádraig Pearse in the GPO poem by Paul Muldoon • Kathleen Lynn in City Hall poem by Jessica Traynor • The Ó Rathaille at O’Rahilly Parade poem by Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill • Elizabeth O’Farrell in Moore Lane poem by Theo Dorgan • The Fallen at the Garden of Remembrance poem by Thomas McCarthy We wish to thank Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Paul Muldoon, Jessica Traynor, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Theo Dorgan and Thomas McCarthy for agreeing to take part and for their resonant contributions, and to Conor Kostick for writing the historical context links between each poem featured on the app. A special thanks goes to Colm Mac Con Iomaire, who has composed a beautiful and emotive score, entitled ‘Solasta’, featured throughout the app.

Empathy and Its Aesthetic Power in Paula Meehan's Poetry
"None of us well fixed": Empathy and its Aesthetic Power in Paula Meehan's Poetry Thomas McCarthy An Sionnach: A Journal of Literature, Culture, and the Arts, Volume 5, Numbers 1 & 2, Spring & Fall 2009, pp. 65-74 (Article) Published by University of Nebraska Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/362736 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] 06-mccarthy-pp65-74:sample 9/29/09 10:26 PM Page 65 THOMAS M CCARTHY “None of us well fixed”: Empathy and its Aesthetic Power in Paula Meehan’s Poetry “I’m no Buddhist: too attached to the world / of my six senses” wrote Paula Meehan in “Sudden Rain,” a brief lyric poem in Dharmakaya (2000 ). The statement is both true and untrue, but its wavering distance from what is true and untrue is a dynamic aesthetic, a diary of oscillations, in the serious pil - grimage of this serious poet. It is now a quarter of a century since Beaver Row Press published Return and No Blame (1984 ), a book without pack - aging, a book without blurb or biography, that fell upon us like an LP from Motown Detroit. Meehan’s was a voice both unexpected and unher - alded, yet polished and certain. It was still the early eighties in Ireland, a land of lightly trodden and unpaved roads in women’s writing. Yes, Eavan Boland had recorded both her own image and her night feeds in brave, minimalist forms, but Caitlín Maude was suddenly dead, and the achievements of Adrienne Rich, Carolyn Forché , and Jane Cooper were but distant rumors.
