Micheal O'Siadhail

News imageBhain an file Micheal O'Siadhail clú idirnáisiunta amach dó féin lena chnuasaigh A Fragile City agus The Chosen Garden. Bhuail sé isteach ar BLAS le gairid agus labhair faoi féin mar fhile agus go háirithe faoina chnuasach úr filíochta The Gossamer Wall; cnuasach a phléann go mion agus go cumhachtach leis an il-loscadh, ábhar a bhfuil tuairimí láidre ag Micheal faoi. Éist leis i mbun comhrá le Lynette Fay.

Irish poet Micheal O'Siadhail has won international acclaim with such anthologies as A Fragile City and The Chosen Garden. He called in to the BLAS studio and discussed his life as a poet, and in particular his new collection The Gossamer Wall ; a very powerful anthology based on the Holocaust. As you will hear in this interview, Micheal feels very strongly about this subject and his feelings are evident in his latest work.
