Amhrán Sráidbhaile / Village Song. Poems in Irish and English by Catherine Foley. Published by Arlen House

Cíorann an file téamaí gleoite an dúchais agus coincheap ilchasta
an ama agus i ina cónaí ar leithinis Ghaeltachta i ndeisceart na
hEireann go dtí go dtugann sí léargas faoi leith dúinn ar cad atá
mórthimpeall orainn, go dtí go bhfaighimid spléachadh ar cad is
cruth an duine. Sa bhailiúchán seo tá rúndiamhracht na beatha
curtha faoin lionsa aici sa chaoi is go músclaionn sí samhlafocht
an léitheora i slí atá cumhachtach agus fionnuar.

The daily rituals of life in a small Gaeltacht village in the south of
Ireland over the course of a year are celebrated in this collection.
Pondering time and the mystical nature of life, the poet casts her
eye on happenings near and far, through the seasons as they roll by
first through the cold and then through the warm months.
