Cork and Other Poems: Corcach and Danta Eile

Louis de Paor was born in Cork in 1961. He has been involved with the contemporary renaissance in Irish language poetry since 1980.

He has twice won the Seán Ó Riordian Prize, the premier award in Irish poetry. He lived in Australia for ten years from 1987. His first collection Aimsir Bbreicneach/ Freckled Weather was shortlisted for the Dinny O'Hearn Award for Literary Translation. His second Gobán Cré is Cloch/Sentences of Earth & Stone saw him emerge as one of Ireland's foremost poets.

Conrach agus Dánta Eile/Cork and Other Poems is his third collection of Irish Poetry accompanied by his English translations. It salutes the powerful impact of his homecoming and echoes his Australian years.
