Tá gach saghas ábhair sna 75 dán Gaeilge seo (agus a n-aistriúcháin),
idir scigaithrisí amaideacha agus chúrsaí laethúil, agus mhór-eachtraí stairiúla. Tá siad faoi eachtraí pearsanta, agus cúrsaí sna haoiseanna anallód. Tá radharc eile, neamhchoitianta iontu, ar an stair, agus ar an lá atá inniu ann. Cuirtear síos iontu ar Mheiriceá, Éire, an Eoraip, an Rúis agus fiú ar an Antartach! Tá cuid díobh faoi rudaí coitianta, agus cuid eile faoi chúrsaí domhanda uafásach tábhachtacha. Uaireanta, labhraíonn siad faoi na rudaí nach gceadaítear go minic – mar tá gá leis. Agus dearcadh agus teanga nua-aimsire iontu, ceiliúrann siad oireachtais thraidisiúnta, idir Mheiriceánach agus Éireannach . Ceiliúrann siad laochra, déanann siad comhbhrón agus tragóidí ann, agus déanann siad gáire faoin amaideacht. Labhraíonn siad go soiléir, agus déanann siad iniúchadh géar – mura bhfuil siad ag iarraidh ar an ngreann!
Tá 30 grianghraf istigh sa leabhar seo, agus is minic go bhfuil áiteanna a luaitear sna dánta mar ábhair acu. Níl ann ach gaoth na ndánta i gcinn eile díobh. Rinne an t-údar gach ceann díobh.
Tá scéal Scoil Ghaeilge Ghearóid Tóibín san áireamh, mar rud spéisiúil sa bhreis!
These 75 Irish language poems, and their English translations, cover a wide range of subjects, from silly parodies to everyday events to historical narrative. They are about personal experiences, and long distant times. They take another, different look at history, and the world we live in. They speak of America, Ireland, Europe, Russia and even Antarctica! Some are about very ordinary things, and some are about world shaking events. They sometimes are about the things you\’re not supposed to talk about – because we really need to. Modern in outlook and language, they celebrate traditional values, Irish and American.
They celebrate heroes, lament tragedy, and laugh at absurdity.
They speak clearly, and they look deeply – when they are not just fooling around!
There are 30 photographs inside this book, which often are of places mentioned in the poems. Others just capture the spirit of the poems. All of them were taken by the author.
As an extra bonus, the story of the Gerry Tobin Irish Language School is included in this book!
