The Cost of Facebook?s Now-Repudiated Censorship Thu Jan 09, 2025 20:00 | Josh Stylman and Jeffrey Tucker Mark Zuckerberg's repudiation of Covid-era censorship is welcome.

Multi-lingual Celebration of Women's Writing.
On the evening of the second of April there was a celebration of International
Women's Day at the Unitarian Church at St Stephen's Green. Bertie had Just
quit and as Jennifer Johnson noted there were a lot of 'drums', those of FF
beating a retreat and of FG beating a tattoo. Medbh Mc Guckian referred to the fact
that in Northern Ireland women can now buy 6,000 Euro handbags, but quality
of life had not improved at all for many. But is was not all politics, it was about
poetry and song.

Mother Egg By Leonard Baskin The evening was divided into paired readings, each pair was interspersed with two
songs by Sean Nos Singers ; the Elsafty sisters. The sisters did a wide range of songs,
best of which was 'Phota Mhor Pratai'.
Eilean Ni Chuilleanin read six poems and translated for Julia Peria, who being from Madrid
and studying in Harvard, had attended just after illness and her poems were stunning.
Julia Piera's New Publication is entitled 'Conversaciones con Mary Shelly'.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Piera_Abad
Ileana Malaciouiu was translated by the artistic director of poetry Ireland, she is Romanian.
Her themes included Antigone, Lazarus and reclaiming relationship after death. She
has published a beautiful and poignant little poem about the death of her sister
called 'My Sister as Empress' which tells of the girl taking her crowns and going off
in a huff in her slippers. it has resonances of Yeats' 'The Stolen Child'.

Jennifer Johnson read excerpts from her Novels and mentioned a poem by
Francis Ledwidge, as well as her beautifully turned remarks on the current political
and cultural situation in Ireland... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Johnson
Leland Bardwell: http://www.rambles.net/bardwell_noise06.html
this is a review of her latest book 'The Noise of Masonry Settling'
The Unitarian Church has been recently cleaned up and restored and provides
a venue for musical /poetic gatherings, being very close to the Proud's Lane HQ of Poetry Ireland.
I do not think that this event was covered by the Mainstream media, which is always
a pity. it's very important to bring new readers to poetry; and women seem generally
under-represented in press. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86703

Leonard Baskin's Image was culled from a programme of Women and Sibyls,
like RB Kitaj, his artistic life was dedicated to understanding his Judaism in the
context of the Holocaust and in his diaspora. His art has illustrated many Poets
works including the poems of Ted Hughes and the famous lithograph of
'The Hanged Man'.
Most of the small press and independent publishers have web sites and fora
for discussing poetry and related issues such as education, translation, freedom
of expression and legislations effecting artists.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Eilean ni Chuilleanan translated Ilena. Ni Chuilleanan also collaborated with Ilena on the
Book : 'After the Raising of Lazarus and other Poems'
Poetry Ireland translated Julia Peria's 'Conversations with Mary Shelley'
(ah sure no-one reads my threads anyway)

Correction: the poet's name is Julia PIERA, nor Peira.
you would see that Julia's name is written correctly , there is also a link to her wiki page
and a few reviews of her recent book ' Conversations with Mary Shelley'.
Also in the report/article there is an allusion to the lack of reviews of Women Poets in the MSM.
i would particularly like if more women writers attended these functions and reviewed them,
info is obtainable from http://www.poetryireland.ie
So I put her name wrong in a comment which I had self-corrected, thanks for the correction!
Maybe you can add in some information about Julia and not limit yourself alone to criticism...
c, no need to get defensive... i was just making a correction.
the name still appears wrong here:
"Eilean Ni Chuilleanin read six poems and translated for Julia Peria, who being from Madrid
and studying in Harvard"
i wrote her wiki, i should know :)
be well and thanks for reporting on this...
