Agallamh le Liam Ó Muirthile ar Southword

"I  gcás na filíochta, is sainchuid den saothar féin guth an fhile, maidir le rithim, canúint, luí na bhfocal sa líne agus leis na línte, ceol, urlabhra,  – gach gné den dán, an feisteas iomlán i ndáiríre. Gníomh éisteachta chomh maith le gníomh scríbhneoireachta is ea líne filíochta." - Liam Ó Muirthile

Sin cuid den smaointeoireacht a nocht an file agus é faoi agallamh ghéarchúiseach ag Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh faoina chnuasach dátheangach An Fuíoll Feá: Rogha Dánta in eagrán 24 de Southword. Is féidir an t-agallamh ar fad ach cliceáil anseo.

"In the case of poetry, the poet's voice is an integral part of the work, rhythm, dialect, how the words ie in the line and with the lines, music, speech, - every aspect of the poem, the whole apparel, really. A line of poetry is an act of listening as well as an act of writing." - Liam Ó Muirthile

Just some of the ideas which the poet discusses in an insightful interview about his bilingual collection An Fuíoll Feá/Wood Cuttings: New and Selected Poems. The interview is conducted by Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh in Southword (edition 24). The entire interview can be read here (interview transcription in Irish only). 

Splancanna ó Shaol Eile (2013) (réamhradharc) le Alex Hijmans - Preview of Alex Hijmans new book of reportage from Brazil

[English translations below]

Céad grianghraf. Céad aiste ghearr. Cur síos i bhfís agus i bhfocail ar thír aduain, anaithnid… atá i lár an aonaigh.

Tá aird an tsaoil mhóir ar an mBrasaíl agus beidh go ceann roinnt mhaith blianta: 2014 – Corn an Domhain sa Sacar i dtír na Brasaíle, 2016 – Na Cluichí Oilimpeacha i gcathair Rio de Janeiro. Go heacnamaíoch agus go polaitiúil, tá ról níos tábhachtaí ná riamh ag fathach Mheiriceá Theas ar an stáitse idirnáisiúnta.

Seo cuireadh duit aithne a chur ar an mBrasaíl – aithne cheart, aithne a sheachnaíonn an cliché. Sa leabhar seo, tugann Alex Hijmans, atá ina chomhfhreagraí idirnáisiúnta sa tír ó 2007, léaspairtí ar an mBrasaíl nach bhfeictear sna cártaí poist.

Seo inár ndiaidh roinnt sleachta as an leabhar a fhoilseofar níos déanaí in 2013 - agus tá aistriúcháin gharbha Béarla leis na reamhshleachta seo i gcás go bhfuil a leithéid uait. Tá ná téacsanna a ghabhann leis na grianghraif níos faide ná na sleachta anseo, ar ndóigh.

One hundred photographs. One hundred short essays. A faraway country in words and pictures, unknown ... but in the right at the heart of the world market.

All eyes are on Brazil at the moment and will be for the near future: 2014 – the World Cup in Brazil, 2016 – the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Economically and politically Brazil is now more important than ever before on the international stage as the giant of South America.

Here’s your invitation to get to know Brazil – to really get to know it, to avoid the clichés. In this book Alex Hijmans, a foreign correspondent in the country since 2007, shows you insights into Brazil that aren’t found on the postcards.

Here are some extracts from the book to be published later in 2013 - with totally exclusive English translations of the previewed extracts.* The texts accompanying the photographs in the publication are longer than those presented here, of course.

 NÍ CÁRTA POST É SEO - THIS IS NOT A POSTCARD

Tá meirg ar an bpictiúr seo, agus féasóg ar an scéal a insítear
ann. Ach tá gá leis.

Páistí ag imirt sacair, mar íomhá den Bhrasaíl? Seanchaite! Gan trácht ar thránna! Agus tá an sliabh sa chúlra – Pão de Açúcar (Sliabh Charn an tSiúcra) – ar na hionaid turasóireachta is iomráití ar domhan – inchurtha le Buckingham Palace, Niagara Falls nó an Taj Mahal. Agus seo iad – na páistí, an trá agus Pão de Açúcar – san aon ghrianghraf amháin.

Is ea, is cárta poist é seo. An t-aon cheann amháin sa leabhar. Sin an fáth a bhfuil sé ag an tús. Séard is fearr a léireoidh nach cártaí poist atá sna grianghraif eile sa saothar seo ná cárta poist ceart a thaispeáint i dtosach.

Ach, ag an am céanna, ní cárta poist é seo – níl aon bhréaga á n-insint ann. Ní aisteoirí atá fostaithe ag Bord Fáilte na Brasaíle iad na himreoirí óga sacair; fíordhaoine iad agus fíorchluiche ar bun acu – fiú mura bhfuil ach leathfhoireann acu ann...

This picture is a cliché. As is the story it tells. And yet it needs to be here.

Children playing soccer - an image of Brazil? Hackneyed! Not to mention the beaches. And the mountain in the background Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain) is one of the most famous tourist sights in the world - along with Buckingham Palace, Niagra Falls or the Taj Mahal. And here they all are - the children, the beach and Sugarloaf Mountian all in one photograph.

Yes, it's a postcard, alright. The only one in this book. That's why it's at the start. The best way to show that the rest of the book isn't a collection of postcards is to show one at the beginning.

But in another way, this isn't a postcard - it's doesn't tell any lies. The young football players aren't employes by some Brazilian Bord Fáilte; they're real people, playing a real game - even if they only have half a team...

SEASAMH TRODA - FIGHTING STANCE

 

Chuir Jamopoty (ar dheis) agus a fear céile Taquari a bhfeisteas traidisiúnta orthu nóiméad sular ghlac mé an grianghraf seo. Ní ligeann siad d’aon duine a bpictiúr a thógáil agus a ngnáthéadaí – jíons agus T-léine – orthu.

Polaitíocht.

Níl rud ar bith in Olivença, parrthas surfála i ndeisceart stát Bahia, a thabharfadh le fios don chuairteoir go bhfuil coimhlint ghránna ar siúl ann. Níl poill philéar sna fuinneoga, níl graifítí gríosaitheach ar na ballaí. Ach fiafraigh de dhuine ar bith faoin bplean atá ag rialtas na Brasaíle tearmann a chruthú do threibh bhundúchasach áitiúil, agus ní bheidh srian leis an ngoimh...

Jamopoty (on the right) and her husband Taquari donned their traditional costume moments before I took this photograph. They don't allow anyone take their photo when they're wearing their ordinary clothes - jeans and T-shirt.

Politics.

There is nothing at all in Olivença, a surfer's paradise in the south of the State of Bahia that would give the visitor to believe that a nasty struggle was under way. There are no bullet holes in the windows, no incendiary graffiti on the walls. But ask anyone about the Brazilian government's plan to create a sanctuary for the local tribe native to the area and the anger bubbles straight to the surface ...

CODARSNACHT - CONTRAST

Ní duine mé a labhraíonn leis féin os ard. Ach nuair a shiúil mé síos fána an chnoic ar a bhfuil seanchathair São Luís tógtha, i dtreo abhainn an Anil, d’éalaigh na focail seo amach ó mo bhéal do mo lom-ainneoin: ‘Ô meu Brasil ...’

‘Ochón, a Bhrasaíl mo chroí’ an t-aistriúchán is fearr a ritheann liom...

I'm not someone who often speaks to himself out loud. But when I walked down towards the river Anil, down the hill on which the old city of São Luís is built I simply couldn't stop the following words slipping out of my mouth: ‘Ô meu Brasil ...’

‘Ochón, a Bhrasaíl mo chroí’ or 'O my poor Brazil' is a rough translation...

 SPÁSÁRTHACH NIEMEYER - NIEMEYER'S SPACESHIP

Nuair a bhí an leabhar seo á chríochnú agam, d’imigh an fear a chruthaigh an foirgneamh sa ghrianghraf thuas ar shlí na fírinne, ag aois a 104 bliain. Lean sé air ag obair go dtí go gairid roimh a bhás. Bhí Oscar Niemeyer, a rugadh i gcathair Rio de Janeiro sa bhliain 1907, i measc na n-ailtirí is aitheanta ar domhan.

Is furasta a thuiscint cén fáth. Ba é a d’fhág an chuma ar Brasília a thugann ar chuairteoir a cheapadh go bhfuil sé tar éis tuirlingt ar phlainéad eile. Cén t-iontas mar sin gur spásárthach, níos mó ná rud ar bith eile, a mheabhródh an Iarsmalann Náisiúnta – sa ghrianghraf thall – do dhuine? Dhear Niemeyer an foirgneamh seo caoga bliain tar éis dó tithe an rialtais a dhearadh, agus is léir nár tháinig aon mheath ar a chuid scileanna sa leathchéad bliain sin ach a mhalairt! 

When I was almost finished writing this book, the man who created the building pictured above passed away - aged 104 years of age. He had continued working up until shortly before his death. Oscar Niemeyer, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1907 was one of the most famous architects in the world.

And not without cause. It was he who was responsible for making the visitor to Brazil think that perhaps they had landed on another planet. Small wonder then that that the National Museum should resemble nothing so much as a spaceship! Niemeyer designed this building some fifty years after he designed the national parliament building and it's obvious that his creativity hadn't declined in the intervening half a century; quite the opposite...

Gonta - léirmheas

Foilsíodh an léirmheas thíos ar Amazon.com anseo tar éis do léitheoir an leagan kindle de Gonta le hÁlex Hijmans a cheannach agus a léamh.
The review below was posted on Amazon.com here after a reader bought the kindle edition of Gonta by Alex Hijmans.

"I could not stop reading it. That has not happened with any other book I read in Irish before.
This is a far cry from the texts of Irish school days. Alex Hijmans knows how to put you in a story, to make you feel you are there riding on a bus or on a beach or feeling the pain of a friend who teaches you a hard lesson. The characters stay with you. The immersion was so complete for me that I forgot I was reading in Irish.
Buy it, read it, go where it takes you, and enjoy the journey. These stories may take place in far-off Brazil but you'll feel like they happened to you and your best friends. There is great humanity and skill in telling something so well.
Irish literature has just jumped up a level."

Seoladh Fuíoll Feá le Liam Ó Muirthile 8 Feabhra 2013 / Launch of Fuíoll Feá in the Unitarian Church 8 February 2013

[scroll down for English language version, please!]

Bhí ócáid fhíorthaitneamhach ag Cois Life san Eaglais Úintéireach, Faiche Stiabhna, BÁC 2, dé hAoine 8 Feabhra tráth ar seoladh Fuíoll Feá: Rogha Dánta / New and Selected Poems le Liam Ó Muirthile. Is é seo an chéad mhór-rogha dá shaothar filíochta a foilsíodh agus an chéad leabhar dátheangach leis ina bhfuil leaganacha Béarla dá shaothar ann. Gabriel Rosenstock - mórfhile aitheanta eile agus sáraistritheoir - a d'aistrigh formhór na ndánta ach tá roinnt leaganacha eile sa leabhar le daoine eile ar nós Paul Muldoon, Peter Sirr agus eile. 

Liam Ó Muirthile agus Gabriel Rosenstock

 Bhí idir cheol is fhilíocht ag an ócáid. Chuir an fear a' tí, Cathal Póirtéir an oíche i láthair agus choinnigh stiúir ar an mbabhtáil idir na focail fhileata agus na nótaí maise ceoil. Léirigh sé tuiscint an scoláire agus é ag cur síos ar shaothar Liam ach níorbh fhada uaidh a chuid scileanna léiriúcháin - agus leathshúil aige ar an gclog ar feadh an ama! Le tús a chur leis an oíche sheinn Peter Browne roinnt dreasanna ceoil a mhacallaigh timpeall na heaglaise go binn. Ansin léigh Liam roinnt dánta as an gcnuasach agus d'aithris Gabriel ansin an t-aistriúchán a bhí déanta aige. Ansin rinneadh uainíocht le dreasanna ceoil le scoth na n-oirfideach: Peter Browne, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh agus Iarla Ó Lionaird. Luaigh Liam gur i stiúideo Iarla a rinneadh taifeadadh ar an dlúthdhiosca a ghabhann leis an leabhar, diosca ar a bhfuil roinnt dánta agus aistriúchán á n-aithris aige féin agus ag Gabriel.

Iarla Ó Lionaird, Peter Brown, Liam Ó Muirthile, Cathal Póirtéir, Gabriel Rosenstock, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh

Ghabh Liam buíochas le Gabriel ní hamháin as na haistriúcháin ach as an spreagadh agus as an gcabhair agus an gcairdeas uile thar na blianta. Ghabh sé buíochas freisin leis na haistritheoirí eile a bhfuil saothar leo sa chnuasach agus leo siúd ar tiomnaíodh dánta dóibh. Thagair sé go sonrach do bheirt atá ar shlí na fírinne agus a bhraith sé uaidh ar an oíche: Michael Davitt, file eile den bhuíon INNTI agus, mar a dúirt Gabriel, 'fathach', agus an tOllamh Bob Welsh, a cailleadh le déanaí agus a bhí ar an mbeagán a thuig an dá thraidisiún teanga in Éirinn. Gach seans gur bhraith an slua 150 duine a bhí an Eaglais Úinitéireach nach rófhada uathu a bhí an bheirt seo ar an oíche. Slua ildánach ilaoiseach a bhí ann - daoine ar mór leo an fhilíocht - agus an ceol. Bhí an t-aos léinn i láthair go tiubh, ar ndóigh - chonacthas an tOll Alan Titley i láthair, mar shampla agus bhain slua ón dara bliain in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Baile Átha Cliath atá ag staidéar an Bhéarla an-taitneamh as an oíche chomh maith. Tá Cois Life buíoch den Chomhairle Ealaíon agus d'Fhoras na Gaeilge as a dtacaíocht leanúnach. Tá buíochas ar leith ag dul do Kevin Robinson san Eaglais Úinitéireach as a chúnamh uile.

Cois Life organised a very enjoyable and unusual evening in the Unitarian Chapel, St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2 on Friday 8th of February to launch Fuíoll Feá: Rogha Dánta / New and Selected Poems by Liam Ó Muirthile. This is the first major selection of Liam's work from his various collections to be published and the first bilingual book with English versions of all the poems. Gabriel Rosenstock - a renowned poet himself and master translator - produced most of the translations but some versions are by other hands such as Paul Muldoon, Peter Sirr and others. 

An file sa lár agus é ag baint taitnimh as a chlann mac, Ciarán, Iara Donncha agus Rónán: the poet centre stage joking with his sons Ciarán, Iarla, Doncha and Rónán

  It was a night of both music and poetry. Master of Ceremonies Cathal Póirtéir presented the evening's events with a depth of understanding and considerable practical skill as befits a scholar and  seasoned radio producer and handled the transitions from poetry to music seamlessly. Peter Browne's piping rang through the beautiful old building and then Liam read some poems and then Gabriel read his translations of them. The musicians were Peter Browne, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and the doyen of sean-nós singing, Iarla Ó Lionaird. Liam mentioned that the recordings of some of the poems and their translations on the CD which accompanies the book were made in Iarla's studio. 

Mná calma Chois Life!  An Dr Caoilfhionn Nic Pháidín, Comhstiúrtóir an tigh foilsitheoireachta, Fionnuala Cloke, Oifigeach Foilseachán agus Julianne Ní Chonchúir, Comhlairleoir Cumarsáide. Formidable ladies from Cois Life! Dr Caoilfhionn Nic Pháidín, Co-Director of the publishing house, Fionnuala Cloke, Publications Officer and Julianne Ní Chonchúir, Communications Consultant. 

 Liam thanked Gabriel not just for the translations but for comvincing him to undertake the project and said that it reflected their long friendship. He also thanked the other translators of work in the book and those to whom poems were dedicated. He mentioned two people in particular who are no longer with us: Michael Davitt, another INNTI poet, and indeed as Gabriel said 'a giant' of poetry and  Bob Welsh, former Professor of English in the University of Ulster, who died recently. Bob, said Liam, was one of the few who had a deep understanding of both the English and Irish language traditions in Ireland. The 150 or so strong audience at the event probably felt that these two were present in spirit on this special night for Irish literature. The audience was varied and represented all age groups - lovers of poetry and music. Academics were out in force - Prof. Alan Titley congratulated Liam and Gabriel afterwards and a number of second year students of English from the National University of Ireland, Dublin said they enjoyed the night also. Cois Life is - as always - grateful to the Arts Council and Foras na Gaeilge for their continued support. Also a special word of thanks to Kevin Robinson of the Unitarian Church for all his help.

AUTHOR'S NOTE - Liam Ó Muirthile

Ireland, or that part of the island I call home, is a country of two languages historically, Irish and English. My life’s work has been defined by the relationship between those two languages. I am a

native speaker of English but a poet and writer in Irish, which I learned at school, in the Gaeltacht and from reading extensively. As a youngster, too, it was still possible, among my own extended family and the wider community in West Cork, to hear the Irish language through English or more properly Anglo-Irish, which is both an unnerving and exciting sensual and aural experience. It is like listening, fascinated, in stereo, to what is presented as a mono mix, with the stereo breaking through all over if our ears are attuned to listen at depth. I am still drawn to the patchwork margins where colours clash but somehow form a whole.

When a literary project began to dawn on me as a young man, the challenge of a project in the Irish language was alluring, but daunting. Why it didn’t present itself in Anglo-Irish, or in the English of Cork city, is another question, which will remain unanswered for the present. But it is probably mainly due to the prevailing cultural values of my own formative years, the hammering home in all spheres of the purity of the deep seam. A French speaker, also, I considered resolving what appeared to be unresolvable by opting for the Beckett solution and heading for Paris. I didn’t have the means to take that step, and I also felt that I would always be pulled and dragged home.

We follow threads in our lives. More than many of my contemporaries in Irish language poetry, I had resisted translation as a solution to the issues of a wider audience for a small language. This was not due to any ideological position, any idée fixe, but a sense in my inner being that the only translation that really matters for a poet is translation at depth, in the unconscious. I had a task to complete, and I would know when the time came. For any work to have the possibility, at least, of being meaningful, an integrated language must emanate from the unconscious. This may take the form of two or more or many languages, a creolised mix, but a form which in itself has a wholeness of being of its own. Somehow. How, in any sense, can language become fully alive to the poem, can the poem become fully alive in its only possible existence, without an enormous investment, a persistent attention, a constant nurturing of its presence both in our minds and in the world? We create our own language over time, where we can feel truly at home. 

I had worked, to a certain extent, with other poets in translating some poems. I am deeply grateful to them for their work, and their patience with an often reluctant participant. I had always felt uneasy about the deconstruction process.

It was a terse email from Gabriel Rosenstock which finally sprang the release mechanism. He suggested we undertake the task of translating the work. An eminent poet in Irish and a renowned
translator in his own right, a friend from college and INNTI days, I would no longer have to provide literal translations, often glossed word by word. He would translate from Irish, and I could focus on
my primary task without feeling that I was merely journeying deeper into the tangled undergrowth. This, in itself, released a huge surge of creative energy. Gabriel Rosenstock’s generosity of spirit, in
that respect, has been crucial. As another poet remarked, the only danger was that Gabriel might provide a translation for a poem as yet unwritten!

I acknowledge, of course, my original debt to the poet Seán Ó Ríordáin (1916–1970). Without his presence in my youthful landscape, none of this would have been possible. I also acknowledge the poet Michael Davitt’s (1950–2005) major contribution as a catalyst in cofounding with Gabriel Rosenstock and others the poetry journal INNTI, and as a close friend.
