Lament for Art O Leary

By Eileen Dubh O’Connell with a new translation by Malachi McCormick.Full-length 390-line version. One of our great Irish language poems, the tragic story of Art and Eileen Dubh O\'Connell, his wife. After years of feuding with Sheriff Morris, Art was shot dead in 1773 near Macroom, Co. Cork. Remarkably, Eileen’s fierce, tender caoine (lament) was completely extemporized, an ancient Irish tradition carried on by gifted ‘keening women’ the mná caointe.
