About the Poem
'The Song of the Wandering Aengus' is told from the point of view of an old man who, at some point in his past, had a fantastical experience in which a silver trout fish he had caught and laid on the floor turned into a "glimmering girl" who called him by his name, then vanished; he became infatuated with her, and remains devoted to finding her again.It has been claimed that the poem's story is based on the Irish god Aengus, and specifically the story of the "Dream of Aengus", which had first appeared in the 8th century, in which Aengus falls in love with a woman whom he sees only in his dreams.
Itâs more likely that Yeats got a basic idea from the story of how Aengus fell in love with a girl he saw in a dream and then spent years searching for her â a theme Yeats knew only too well, having loved and unsuccessfully pursued the beautiful Maud Gonne for most of his life.

Reading by Imelda May - RTE for Culture June 2020 -
About the Poem
The society depicted in the poem , The Planters Daughter, is one reminiscent of images of Ireland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.A planter was usually an English or Scotsman, brought in by the British, who bought confiscated land in Ireland quite cheaply , who then employed local people to work on it
In effect, he was the local landlord, living in the âBig Houseâ , often seen as people of wealth and be of higher class â and would certainly not mix with the lower classes.
However , in this poem, Austin Clarke portrays the planter's daughter, rather than being aloof, as a down to earth and approachable person who certainly doesn't see herself as above anyone else.
The most interesting feature of âThe Planterâs Daughterâ is the indirect way in which Clarke presents the subject of the poem and this indirect treatment creates a certain mystique around her.
____________________________________
About the Poet
Austin Clarke was born in Stoneybatter, Dublin in 1896He was one of the leading Irish poets of the generation after W. B. Yeats and he also wrote novels, plays and memoirs.
His main contribution to Irish poetry was the rigour with which he used technical means borrowed from classical Irish language poetry when writing in the English language.
In addition to some twenty volumes of poetry and numerous plays, Clarke published three novels and two volumes of memoirs, and while all of these prose writings are of interest, Clarke's reputation rests firmly on his poetry.
He dies in Dublin in March 1974

About the Poem
Communicated through the description of a morning walk across the Grand Canal in Dublin, the poem is a philosophical reflection on starting something new again.
It starts off as a celebration of a new day, full refreshing opportunity, and goes on to examining the harder things in life. It is filled with the sense of determination to be grateful for everyday experiences.
Even though the poem is full of hope, it acknowledges that promises and beginnings are âborn in lightâ, only to die âin darkâ.The themes of loneliness and persevering in the face of adversity are both very much evident in this poem.

About the Poem
The Cure at Troy was written in 1990 for the Field Day Theatre Company, and is an adapted version of the ancient tragic Greek play, Philoctetes, written by Sophocles â which takes place in the closing days of the Trojan War.
The resonance of this ancient tale with that of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and perhaps the struggle of the Apartheid movement in South Africa, was a major attraction to Seamus Heaney,
The poem, at its heart, addresses questions of personal morality, deceit and political expediency, suffering and healing.
____________________________________
About the Poet
Seamus Justin Heaney was an Irish poet, playwright and Nobel Laureate.He was and is still recognised as one of the principal contributors to poetry in Ireland during his lifetime and often described as "the most important Irish poet since Yeats"
HE won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995 â with what the Nobel committee described as "works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living pastââ.
His epitaph is taken from one of his poems âThe Gravel Walksâ and reads
"Walk on air against your better judgementâ.___________________________________

About the Poem
This short poem, 'Mirror In February', which was included for study on the former Leaving Certificate English syllabus, is familiar to generations of Irish schoolgoers.It first appeared in the 1963 collection Downstream, is in many ways typical of Kinsellaâs poetry in general.
The poem, set in February as the natural world begins to slowly wake and renew itself, presents the speaker as a humble and solitary figure suddenly overwhelmed and reflecting on the significance of the passing of his own advancing years.
Near the end of 'Mirror In February', Kinsella does ask and enquire of us an interpretation, that of course, I will always leave open to yourself.

About the Poem
Loreena McKennitt - The Stolen Child
William Butler Yeats wrote âThe Stolen Childâ in 1886 and is considered to be one of his more notable and popular early poems.
Based on Irish Legend, 'The Stolen Child' concerns captivating faeries beguiling and charming a young boy to leave the tough modern day âweeping worldâ and run away to live a more enchanting and mystical life with them.
The main theme of 'The Stolen Child' would suggest the struggle to maintain the innocence of childhood against the realism of having to experience the reality of life â certainly, a theme that transcend the passing of time!
