Delighted to have some poems translated to Czech translated by Daniela Theinová and Martin Světlík, alongside work by Biddy Jenkinson, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Alan Titley, Peter Mackay, Christopher Whyte, and Niall Ó Gallchóir. It was lovely to hear the Czech translations at a reading in Café Libéral in Prague in October. With thanks to Culture Ireland and the EFACIS Irish Itinerary.
Many thanks to Daniela Theinová, Justin Quinn and the rest of the organising committee of the EFACIS conference in Prague in September. Of course, like much else at the moment, it was all a bit virtual, sadly, but Prague still exists and remains high on my list of places to revisit.
Here is a link to the reading I did with Louis de Paor and Ailbhe Darcy.
Agus seo nasc chuig dreas cainte a dheineas le Dara Ó Cinnéide ar an Saol ó Dheas an lá céanna.
I was asked to write a piece about my impression of ‘Europe’ and I wrote about my Erasmus year in Rennes, minority languages, majority languages, and gorgeous French books. You can read it on Kaleidoscope II project page, alongside essays by Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Doireann Ní Ghríofa and more besides.
My thanks to EFACIS (European Federation of Associations and Centres for Irish Studies), in particular, Hedwig Schwall and Anne Fogarty.
It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Daniela Theinová for the EFACIS Irish Itinerary Podcast. Daniela is a wonderful poetry critic with a considerable knowledge of the Irish language and its literature. Her book, Limits and Languages in Contemporary Irish Women’s Poetry was recently published by Palgrave. She read her translations of my poems at a reading in Prague some years ago (2012, I think!) You can listen to our conversation here. Buíochas ó chroí leat, a Daniela!
