Book Review: Leabhar na hAthghabhála - Poems of Repossession

YOU don’t expect to find a poem entitled ‘Didjeridu’ in an anthology of poetry in Irish with English translations.

This poem, referencing the Australian wind instrument, more commonly spelled ‘didgeridoo’, is by the editor of this weighty book, Louis De Paor.

He spent time in Australia and tapped into the Aboriginal experience, its uniqueness and how it has been oppressed.
