Sliabh Luachra Poetry Course Final Night
It’s a long time since there was an Irish poetry course organised in this historical area but we have had an eight week course organised by Dánscoil Shliabh Luachra which finishes this Friday night.
The group that took part enjoyed the occasion, they examined simple examples at first and then discussed different aspects of poetry like: Who is the poet?, Irish poetry today, structure, rhytm and lyrics.
There was a lot of interest in the local poets Uileog Ó Céirín (1791-1863), Séamas Ó Cathain (1779-1864) et al.
Guest Poet Bríd Ní Mhóráin
The guest speaker was the well known poet Bríd Ní Mhóráin she spoke about different poets with particular attention on the women poets.
