{"product_id":"ethnology-cathy-galvin-9781780377728","title":"Ethnology","description":"Ethnology draws on the mystical cry for the dead of Cathy Galvin's Irish-speaking ancestors. 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. Drawing on classic forms within literary and oral traditions, Ethnology 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.","brand":"Bloodaxe Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51272349942048,"sku":"9781780377728","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781780377728_2442309.jpg?v=1772182707","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/ethnology-cathy-galvin-9781780377728","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
