Within an epic narrative she reclaims place, people and language, creating a bridge between our own times and a Connemara community on the margins of Europe.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing on classic forms within literary and oral traditions, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eEthnology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e becomes a love song for Connemara, witness to vivid encounters: between the living and the dead and between the poets, folklorists and ethnologists who have written about the West of Ireland for their own agendas. In her first full-length book of poetry, fragility and strength are finely balanced, focused on the ruins of an island cottage built by her great-grandfather. Here, Cathy Galvin locates both mourning, humour and joy. The poems give a vivid, original voice to the tradition of keening, of honouring the loss of those we love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cathy Galvin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280138776827,"sku":"9781780377728","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_06f2ea11-5dd2-4266-890e-2d4cc4657dce.jpg?v=1774529180","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/ethnology-9781780377728","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
