Books
Seán Ó Ríordáin (1916-77) was the most important and most influential Irish-language poet of modern times. He revitalised poetry in Irish, combining the world of Irish literature with that of modern English and European literature, thus adding to the Irish tradition from the other side. His poems 'seek to answer fundamental questions about the nature of human existence and the place of the individual in a universe without meaning' (Gearóid Denvir). This collection gives a much more unified sense of Ó Ríordáin's work, catching the poetry's verve, playfulness and range and also 'the music you still hear in Munster, even in places where it has gone under'.
