THE WILLOW'S WHISPER : A Transatlantic Compilation of Poetry from Ireland & Native America "This thought provoking and imaginative anthology brings poems and poets from diverse sociolinguistic and cultural traditions together into dialogue. Central yet marginalized within their respective discourses, the genus of this anthology is to change the dominant focus. By pairing these ‘non-canonical’ texts, this anthology opens new vistas, and makes new connections amplifying human and cultural concerns all too often lost in the official Anglo-American literary and cultural canon." ** Dr Brian Ó Conchubhair, of the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. THE WILLOW'S WHISPER (Cambridge Scholars Publishing) edited by Jill O’Mahony & Mícheál Ó hAodha, will be launched on Friday 13 May 2011 at 7:00 p.m. in The Book Centre, 25 Barronstrand Street, Waterford, Ireland. THE WILLOW'S WHISPER brings the voices of 35 poets from the Irish and Native American communities together in one compilation. This collection of poems provides an aesthetic commentary on the potential which is beyond and within the everyday. From Gabriel Rosenstock and Biddy Jenkinson to N. Scott Momaday and Karenne Wood, and from Joy Harjo to Paddy Bushe and Biddy Jenkinson, this compilation showcases poetry from the finest poets in both communities. Native America and Ireland : you might ask ... What are the commonalities? Furthermore : why bring them together through poetry?
