Inside Innti - A new wave in Irish Poetry

As Cork city pulsated with poetry and music in the early 1970s, a revolution in Irish-language poetry was about to be launched on the banks of the Lee. Inspired by the innovative energy of composer and musician Seán Ó Riada, and under the watchful and, sometimes, critical eye of resident poet Seán Ó Ríordáin a group of four pioneering poets established a journal that would alter the course of Irish-language poetry and literature. Over fifty years after Innti first launched the voices of Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Michael Davitt, Liam Ó Muirthile, and Gabriel Rosenstock, this bilingual book seeks to examine the cultural climate from which the journal emerged and hopes to capture a portrait of this literary and cultural phenomenon.
