Poems in Occitan
What an absolute delight to have some poems translated to Occitan in the September issue of OC, alongside Aifric Mac Aodha, Biddy Jenkinson, and Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill (‘quatre poètas gaelics d’Irlanda’). My thanks to Clíona Ní Ríordáin, David Wheatley, and Kevin Barry. Occitan is a language that I would love to explore, especially having so much enjoyed the poetry of Aurélie Lassaque.

Buíochas ó chroí le John Boy Ó Muireagáin, Louis de Paor agus Sinéad Ní Uallacháin as an dán ‘Fothragadh’ a chíoradh ar an gclár ‘Cóisir Filíochta’ le déanaí. Bhaineas taitneamh, leis, as an bplé ar shaothar Bhiddy Jenkinson agus Mháire Ní Mhurchú. Is féidir éisteacht siar leis an gclár ar BBC Sounds as seo go ceann míosa. Ag tnúth go mór leis an gcuid eile den tsraith!
