[spectre] ... grace & delicacy, in the Zen sense

[Séamas Cain]

_______________


On Thursday, September 10th, 2009, IMRAM, the annual Irish-language
literary festival, will present a special evening of performances in
homage to the life & poetry of Máire Mhac an tSaoi.

This event will take place at 6:30 p.m. at EAGLAIS ÚINITÉIREACH (the
Unitarian Church), 112 West St. Stephen’s Green in Dublin, Ireland.
Admission is free.

Máire Mhac an tSaoi was born in 1922.  She is one of the most
important figures in contemporary Irish literature.  She has a
knowledge of the Munster dialect of Irish that is second-to-none.  Her
technical mastery of traditional forms melds with potent
self-expression to produce modern poetry of grace & delicacy.  Indeed,
the poetry of Máire Mhac an tSaoi is centered, in the Zen sense of
centered.  Her collections of poetry include "Margadh na Saoire,"
"Codladh an Ghaiscígh," "An Galar Dubhach," & "Shoa agus Dánta Eile."

This evening of special performances drawn from the work of Máire Mhac
an tSaoi will feature Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Máirín Nic Eoin, Bríd Ní
Mhóráin, Fionola Ó Siochrú, Eoghan Ó hAnluain, Liam Ó Muirthile &
Gabriel Rosenstock.
