“Whomever commissioned, created and installed this
abominationplaque has some explaining to do. We have been assured there is no connection with the County Council. This is a private commission by someone who needs to sack his/her proofreader. Spelling apart, although I have no way of proving it, I’m fairly confident in saying Queen Maeve didn’t look like Barbie either.”
Anyone?

With the leaving cert starting next week I thought it might be interesting to put W. B. Yeats’ September 1913 to some original music (with a west coast hip hop vibe).

About Ireland’s most celebrated stalker poet.
Yeats in Love is an illustrated, semi-fictional account of WB Yeats’ obsessive yet ultimately fruitless pursuit of Maud Gonne, illustrated in detail on every painful page by award-winning Illustrator Annie West. To celebrate WB Yeats’ 150th Birthday in 2015, Annie has gathered together remarks from those who bore witness to this unfolding story- Douglas Hyde, Katherine Tynan, Lily and Lolly Yeats and others- and mixed them together with some of Yeats’ most enduring love poems.
All this and MacCoille.
*swoon*
