Description
Cathal Ó Searcaigh's Errigal: Sacred Mountain is a deeply personal and poetic exploration of Ireland's largest mountain. This book is a culmination of his long fascination with the mountain, which has inspired some of his most acclaimed poetry in the Irish language. Through a series of meditations on the mountain's beauty, mystery, and changing seasons, Ó Searcaigh invites readers to join him on a journey around Errigal. The result is a richly nuanced and insightful work that blends memoir, observation, humour, and wisdom. This unique blend of writing is complemented by an engaging Preface and scholarly Afterword. A rare and lovely book, Errigal: Sacred Mountain features translations of Ó Searcaigh's poems by some of Ireland's most outstanding poets, including Seamus Heaney and Gabriel Rosenstock.
