Description
Dánta in ómós don teaghlach is ea na dánta seo le Louis de Paor, dánta a dhíríonn ar ghnéithe éagsúla den gcaidreamh atá ag croílár an eispéiris dhaonna. Tugann an Paorach ar thuras muid in Obair Bhaile trí thréimhsí uilig an ama – idir Inné, Inniu agus an lá Amárach – trí thuras an tsaoil a luascann i gcónaí ‘gan éinne á bhrú / éinne in aon chor’. Tá dóchas le fáil san fhilíocht mhisniúil seo a chuireann ag saothrú muid i dtreo an bhaile féin.
Rogha théamúil is ea Obair Bhaile a chuimsíonn dánta as sé chnuasach éagsúla a d’fhoilsigh an Paorach idir 1992 agus 2016, chomh maith le 13 dhán nua óna pheann.

Poems in tribute to family by Louis de Paor, poems that focus on different aspects of the relationship that is at the very heart of the human experience. In Obair Bhaile, de Paor brings us on a journey though all the periods of time – from Yesterday, to Today, to Tomorrow – through life's journey that sways constantly ‘gan éinne á bhrú / éinne in aon chor’ ['without anyone pushing it / anyone at all']. There is hope to be found in this couageous poetry that sends us in the direction of home itself.
Obair Bhaile is a thematic selection that includes poems from six of de Paor's different collections, published between 1992 and 2016, as well as 13 new poems.
