Poet Liam Ó Muirthile found inspiration on the Camino's pilgrim path

Cork-born poet, Liam Ó Muirthile, was inspired by his journey along the Camino, writes Marjorie Brennan

THE Camino de Santiago pilgrimage walk has proved irresistible to many, including to poet, Liam Ó Muirthile.

“I was attracted to the idea of it — the distance, the journey, the historical significance, the metaphor of the journey itself. Any artist of any worth has undertaken a small-scale Camino — the only place you can find your art is in yourself,” he says.
