Download or read book A Poet s Dublin written by Eavan Boland and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juxtaposing verse and image, A Poet’s Dublin is a study of origin and influence from “a major Irish poet” (Edward Hirsch). Written over years, the transcendent and moving poems in A Poet’s Dublin seek out shadows and impressions of a powerful, historic city, studying how it forms and alters language, memory, and selfhood. The poems range from an evocation of the neighborhoods under the hills where the poet lived and raised her children to the inner-city bombing of 1974, and include such signature poems as “The Pomegranate,” “The War Horse,” and “Anna Liffey.” Above all, these poems weave together the story of a self and a city—private, political, and bound by history. The poems are supported by photographs of the city at all times and in all seasons: from dawn on the river Liffey, which flows through Dublin, to twilight up in the Dublin foothills.

Download or read book Two Acres of Irish History written by Eamon Phoenix and published by Ulster Historical Foundation. This book was released on 2000-03-31 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friar's Bush is Belfast's oldest Christian Site. The quality of ancient mystery surrounding this old walled graveyard at Stranmillis has long fascinated historians. There is a tradition of a link with St. Patrick and strong evidence of a medieval friary on the site; it also served as a 'penal refuge' for the local Catholic community up to 1769. Indeed, in its manifold historical associations and monuments, Friar's Bush reflects the landmarks in local, Ulster and Irish history throughout the ages - frm the 'Penal Era' to the Irish Volunteers, from the Catholic Emancipation to the Great Famine and fromt he growth of Belfast to the First World War. This book has been designed specifically to meet the requirements of the 'Local Study' component of the Northern Ireland History Curriculum at Key Stage 3. It traces the exciting story of Friar's Bush and Belfast from the rich store of evidence available--artifacts, maps, letters, newspaper reports, ballads, and even paintings. A major focus is the transition from 'Penal Era' to 'Golden Age' in Belfast as symbolised by the opening of Old St Mary's in 1784.
