The Destruction Of Dá Derga's Hostel

Thank you for checking out this book by Theophania Publishing. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you soon. We have thousands of titles available, and we invite you to search for us by name, contact us via our website, or download our most recent catalogues. The vast and interesting epic literature of Ireland has remained, for the most part, inaccessible to English readers until these last sixty years. In 1853, Nicholas O'Kearney published the Irish text and an English translation of "The Battle of Gabra," and since that date the volume of printed texts and English versions has steadily increased. Now there lies open to the ordinary reader a considerable mass of material illustrating the imaginative life of medieval Ireland. Of these Irish epic tales, "The Destruction of D Derga's Hostel" is a specimen of remarkable beauty and power. The primitive aspects of the story are made evident in the way that the plot turns upon the disasters that follow on the violation of taboos, by the monstrous nature of many of the warriors, and by the absence of any attempt to explain the beliefs implied or the marvels related in it. The powers and achievements of the heroes are fantastic and extraordinary beyond description. The natural and extra-natural constantly mingle, yet nowhere does the narrator express surprise. The technical method of the tale, too, is curiously and almost mechanically symmetrical, after the manner of savage art. Both description and narration are marked by a high degree of freshness and vividness.

The Stones Keep Watch

The Stones Keep Watch

John Whitney Steele

"Who hears?" asks the first poem in John Whitney Steele's debut collection. If you are lucky, reader, it's you. Steele waited until he was 60 years old to begin writing poetry in earnest, and his poems comprise discoveries at once serendipitous and aged in silence. From a 16th-century war elephant that's a "descendant of the ten-tusked Airavata" to contemporary poems of lockdown, Steele's poetry ranges widely, a life of love and literature distilled into this book. "What hope have I to leave a mark / some future race will find?" You can find him here, in this book, in "dragonfly samadhi."-Amit Majmudar, Ohio Poet Laureate, 2016-2017In The Stones Keep Watch, John Whitney Steele touches eternal things, and his technique as a poet remembers the history of poetry in English. The things of this world and the words that would touch them are gracefully combined. Here is a poet who has learned from both life and art about endurance and what endures. Like Robinson Jeffers, a poet who appears in these pages, he has absorbed multiple traditions into his vision of western landscapes and experience. These are poems of disillusioned love and resonance.-David Mason, Colorado Poet Laureate, 2010-2014In The Stones Keep Watch-a remarkable book-John Whitney Steele has gathered together a collection of poems that are not only elegantly written, but also deeply spiritual in content. Many, in fact, take on some of the most profound of humanity's questions, which somehow get resolved-or at least elucidated-thanks to Steele's convincing, graceful manipulation of language. His craftsmanship is apparent throughout: elegant sonnets take their appropriate places alongside variations on the villanelle, the ghazal, a spill of rhymed couplets-plus a fascinating poem titled "The Buddha Said"-which, with its pounding, mostly dimeter lines, might best be described as a chant. Overall, this book is a feast for the reader who wonders, as Steele does, What more does it take?-Marilyn L. Taylor, Wisconsin Poet Laureate, 2009-2010

This fascinating collection of over 200 photographs beautifully depicts Whitley Bay over the years. This ‘Dream Village by the Sea’ was grafted onto the farming and failed colliery hamlet of Whitley, developing from the 1860s onwards.The pictures are taken from the collections of North Tyneside Libraries. The accompanying notes cover the original village, the Victorian extensions, and the attractions provided along the Promenade and Links. They will help trace the development of an unplanned dormitory town into a major seaside resort. Many and varied aspects of Whitley Bay’s history are pictured; delivery carts that were a familiar sight in the early 1900s, family run shops and businesses, concert parties and parades and of course the beach – from the early bathing machines to sandcastle competitions.The suitability of the town for a retirement area has, in the past, created a population without roots in the area. And yet – how many thousands all over the country must remember the excitement of childhood holidays by the sea. The dances, cinemas and entertainment laid on by hotels will have brought countless sweethearts together. This book is for all those who chose to make their lives in Whitley Bay, and those who carry golden memories from even the shortest of visits.
