With its roots in the devotional verse of the early Christian church & the long lyric poems of the Irish bards, Irish poetry has a rich & robust tradition both of engagement & self-reflection. It has grappled long with politics & has provided the most eloquent response to Ireland`s turbulent history, mediating & mitigating histories of loyalty & loss; it has soaked itself in the Irish landscape & Celtic myth; &, it has encompassed religion, so much a part of Ireland`s cultural heritage. At the same time Irish poets have given their own original slant to everyday experience & affairs of the heart. Thematically organized & spanning many centuries, this selection also features a section of Gaelic poetry in translation, notably excerpts from the 18th-century epic masterpiece, Brian Merriman`s ” The Midnight Court”. ...

The Irish Sea is a huge, almost landlocked sea. Around its shores & islands there are no fewer than six countries, provinces or protectorates. Several languages are represented; English, Welsh, Irish, Scots Gaelic & Manx, along with countless accents & dialects. Its waters teem with life; dolphins & porpoises are a common sight; leatherback turtles come here from the Caribbean to feed on the jellyfish & whales are regular visitors. In the air there are gulls, puffins, guillemots & more. The range of challenges & coastlines is astonishing. Tides above five knots are commonplace & yet there are calm, sheltered waters for relaxed wandering. This completely new pilot covers both sides of the Irish Sea from Milford Haven to Portpatrick, & Rathlin Island to Carnsore Point. From his base in North Wales David Rainsbury spent two long & rainy summers exploring the coasts he describes. His sailing directions & descriptions cover all the places that provide shelter & they are supported by his own photography & aerial shots from Patrick Roach. At the start of each chapter there are useful coasting notes which deal with some of the more difficult passages & tidal gateways. The harbour text is then clearly organised so that essential information regarding accessibility, tides & shelter always proceed the pilotage notes which are supported by clear full colour plans. ...

In 1916, Eamon de Valera arrived on the Irish scene & as a result, so we are told, the fairies left. Such combining of fact & folklore is the essence of this fascinating history which describes the tragedies & poverty of those years, yet brims with cultural, domestic & political detail. Comments by contemporary writers, both famous & obscure, are seamlessly woven into the text, as are direct memories of those who lived through the events described. ” From the Trade Paperback edition.” ...
