An File ar Buile: Poems From America
There's something for everyone in this book. These 75 Irish language poems, and their English translations, cover a wide range of subjects, from silly parodies to historical narratives. They vary greatly in style, using both free verse and strict forms. While modern in outlook and language, they speak of traditional values, Irish and American. They celebrate heroes, lament tragedy, and laugh at absurdity. They speak of the Catholic faith, the human condition, people, places, and events both world-shaking and ordinary.

The Mad Poet - you never know what he's going to say . . .

Tá an Ghaeilge beo beathach i Meiriceá! Go maire sí!
