An-deas cóip den leabhar seo a fháil! Píosa beag uaim féin ann ach is fearr liom an plé ar óige Dhiarmada (Síle Ní Mhurchú) agus an óige mar atá pléite i bhFilíocht na mBard (Gordon Ó Riain)

GRMA, a Dhubháin. Bhain mé an-taitneamh as an mblúire atá agat féin sa leabhar!

Congratulations to Gaëlle Clion who successfully defended her thesis today:
'Mar bís coindeall a láim doill: Knowledge, inspiration, and Irish poetics through the lens of Irish and Continental defences of poetry'.

This edition examines the tract's teaching, its relationship to other texts & poetic practice, its complex manuscript transmission & importance for the history of education in Ireland.

Happy to see my book in print!
