'What's this? What does it mean? Where is it going? Where did it begin? Where will it end?'

Only one other snail has the answer. Grandfather! Now brought to life in an Irish-language edition as well, Gabriel Rosenstock's poetic vision and Masood Hussain's magical eccentric artwork provide an unusual introduction for young readers (8-12+) coming to terms with spirituality, religion, and the meaning of life.

YOU ARE INVITED TO A UNIQUE ART-AND-POETRY EVENT

ON MARCH 12 (Seachtain na Gaeilge)

THE LAUNCH OF TWO OUTSTANDING BILINGUAL BOOKS

PAINTINGS BY KASHMIRI ARTIST MASOOD HUSSAIN

POETIC RESPONSES TO THE PAINTINGS

BY IRISH POET GABRIEL ROSENSTOCK

IRISH AND KASHMIRI MUSIC

Come to Liberty Hall – Halla na Saoirse – 12.3.2024 – 7.30 p.m.

For a celebration of art, music and poetry

Main speaker: Prof. MICHAEL CRONIN, T.C.D., who will launch the two books.

Special guest:  RAFIQ KATHWARI, born in Kashmir, lived in Ireland for a number of years; winner Patrick Kavanagh Poetry Award in 2013; now lives in the US.

Readers:  GABRIEL ROSENSTOCK and TRISTAN ROSENSTOCK

Plus:  live music arranged by Des Geraghty

In these two new publications –  LOVE LETTER TO KASHMIR (Cross-Cultural Communications, New York and BOATMAN! take these songs from me (Manipal Universal Press, India – as well as in earlier work, ‘Walk with Gandhi – Bóthar na Saoirse’ (2019), Gabriel Rosenstock has taken Irish poetry across many new horizons, into the modern literature of the Indian sub-continent and the wider world.

“A fusion of visual elegance and poetic mastery” is how The Kashmiri Observer recently described Love Letter to Kashmir. 

 

Don’t miss this unique celebration of art, music and poetry – the launch of two very beautiful, bilingual books with visual presentations of many of the paintings, readings of some of the haiku and tanka in Irish and English, interspersed with Kashmiri music and the live performance of Irish music.

Event produced by Des Geraghty

More information from Rosheen Callender – rosheen.callender@gmail.com

Kashmir Times adds to the growing number of kudos for

Love Letter to Kashmir:

“In 157 pages, 75 luminous water colour paintings and matching tanka and haiku, the book is an exhilarating journey through Kashmir’s mesmerizing scenery, people, seasons, lanes, and shrines that calls our attention to the smallest details and makes one understand the world they illuminate. Through ordinary scenes of everyday life – the shepherds with their flock of sheep, women resting in a beautiful meadow and gazing into the mountains, empty streets, dilapidated houses with garlands of dried chillies hung on the walls, the crimson leaves of the autumn, the white almond blossoms, the shroud of snow, and much more – the paintings and the lyrics find beauty and divinity in anything and everything . . .”  The Culturium has fallen under the spell of Kashmir as well, the Kashmir of Masood Hussain’s meticulous yet seemingly effortless water colours and Rosenstock’s spontaneous freestyle and strict-form tanka (5-7-5-7-7- syllables):

 

(Both coffee-table books BOATMAN! take these songs from me and Love Letter to Kashmir will be available on the evening of the 12th and are distributed in Ireland by ÁIS).

An Fáidh

Leabhar 26 fabhalscéal scríofa mar dhánta próis é An Fáidh le Kahlil Gibran, file agus fealsamh Liobánach-Mheiriceánach. Ba sa bhliain 1923 a foilsíodh ar dtús é agus is é an saothar is iomráití de chuid Gibran é. Aistríodh go breis is 100 teanga é, ceann de na leabhair is mó a aistríodh riamh. Ní raibh sé riamh as cló. 

Cuirtear an Fáidh Almustafa in aithne dúinn i dtosach an leabhair. Dosaen bliain atá sé ag feitheamh leis an long a thabharfaidh abhaile é. Sula n-imíonn sé, iarrann cuid d'áitreabhaigh na cathrach Orfalaís air a thuiscint do choincheapa áirithe a roinnt leo den uair dheireanach ("Labhair linn faoi..."). Tugann an Fáidh 26 seanmóir uaidh a bhaineann le buncheisteanna na beatha, is e sin an grá, an pósadh, leanaí, déirc, ithe is ól, obair, áthas is brón, tithe, éadach, díol agus ceannach, coiriúlacht agus pionós, dlíthe, saoirse, réasún agus paisean, pian, féin-eolas, teagasc, cairdeas, caint, am, maith is olc, paidreoireacht, pléisiúr, áilleacht, reiligiún, agus i ndeireadh na dála, an bás. Sa chaibidil dheireanach, tá ceist cad is brí le brí fite fuaite ina bhriathra scoir.

The Prophet is a book of 26 fables written in English prose poetry by the Lebanese-American poet and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. It was first published in 1923 and is Gibran's best known work. The Prophet has been translated into over 100 languages, making it one of the most translated books in history. It has never been out of print. 

The narrative introduces us to the Prophet Almustafa, who has waited twelve years for his ship, which will finally take him back to his homeland. Before leaving, some inhabitants of the city of Orphalese ask him to convey to them his insights on various topics for the last time ("Speak to us of..."). The Prophet relates 26 sermons that deal with basic questions of human life, namely love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, houses, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punish-ment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and finally death. In the final chapter, Almustafa interweaves a discussion about the question of meaning into his parting words.

LEABHARLANN NA bhFUAIMEANNA CAILLTE NÓ IAD AG DUL I LÉIG

Cleatar sean-chlóscríobháin láimhe;cnagarnach statach agus teilifíseán á dhúiseacht; bús gutháin á dhiailiú; daoine ag feadaíl; barr buidéil alúmanaim ag cnagaireacht; crónán ón bhflóta bainne - níl ansin ach cuid de na fuaimeanna atá ag dul i léig. Sa tionscadal léifidh ceathrar filí - Marcus MacConghail, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, Proinsias Mac A' Bhaird agus Máire Dinny Wren dánta nua mar gheall ar fhuaimeanna nach gcloistear níos mó agus cloisfear fuaimrian ón gceoltóir agus dealbhóir fuaime Fergus Kelly.

 

THE LIBRARY OF LOST AND VANISHING SOUNDS

The clatter of an old manual typewriter; the crackle of static as a television comes on; the whirr of a phone dial; people whistling; the crinkle of an aluminium bottle top; the hum of an electric milk float - these are just some of the sounds that are becoming part of the past. Tonight four poets - Marcus MacConghail, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, Proinsias Mac A' Bhaird and Máire Dinny Wren - will read new poems on the theme of lost sounds, to a sound-track created by musician and sound sculptor Fergus Kelly.

TÍR TAIRNGIRE: TIONSCADAL BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN THE PROMISED LAND: THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN PROJECT

Tá cáil i bhfad agus i ngearr ar Bruce Springsteen. Tá clú ar a bheoléirithe paiseanta agus is cumadóir amhrán thar na bearta é. Baineann sé leas as ceol rithim agus gormacha, snagcheol, luath-racanról, ceol tíre agus soul. Cruthaíonn a chuid liricí rómánsacha fileata íomhánna dúinn de shaol na cosmhuintire, tírdhreacha uirbeacha New Jersey agus réigiúin láir Mheiriceá.

Tabharfaidh TÍR TAIRNGIRE:TIONSCADAL BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN ar aistear sinn, ar imram, go dtí 'tír tairngire' an amhránaí chun na físeanna aige a bhlaiseadh ó albaim ar nós Darkness on the Edge of Town, Nebraska agus The Ghost of Tom Joad. Is iad na hoirfidigh atá i mbun an aistir seo ná Liam Ó Maonlaí, guth agus pianó; Steve Cooney ar ghiotár, Nick Roth ar shacs; Robbie Perry i mbun cnaguirlisí agus Trevor Hutchinson ar dhord. Gabriel Rosenstock  a thraschruthaigh na liricí. Margaret Lonergan a theilgfidh a cuid íomhánna agus na focail ar scáileán. Arna léiriú ag IMRAM Féile Litríochta Gaeilge.

Bruce Springsteen is legendary. Famed for his passionate live performances, he is a songwriter par excellence. His work taps into rhythm and blues, jazz, early rock 'n' roll, folk and soul. His romantic, poetic lyrics evoke the lives of working people, the urban landscapes of New Jersey, and the heartlands of contemporary America.

THE PROMISED LAND: THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN PROJECT takes us on a voyage to the 'promised land' of Springsteen's vision, drawing on albums such as Darkness on the Edge of Town, Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad. The line-up features Liam Ó Maonlaí on vocals and piano; Steve Cooney on guitar; Nick Roth on saxophone; Robbie Perry on percussion and Trevor Hutchinson on bass. The lyrics have been translated into Irish by Gabriel Rosenstock. Screen projections by Margaret Lonergan. Produced by IMRAM Irish Literature Festival.

'Táimid ann sa mhóimint dhraíochtach seo
Sin é an stuif as a bhfitear brionglóidí...'

É féin a athchruthú de shíor, ba é sin misean is stampa David Bowie. I measc na bpearsan stáitse a chruthaigh sé bhí Ziggy Stardust - ba da stuif na réaltaí riamh é - agus Aladdin Sane. Chuimsigh a chuid stíleanna ceoil sól plaisteach na Young Americans; ceol draíochta na n-uirlisí ag Low; pop glan Let's Dance agus an léim sa doirchadas a bhí san albam deireanach dá chuid, Blackstar.

Leaganacha Gaeilge atá againn in RÉALTNEACH den chuid is fearr d'amhráin Bowie, traschruthaithe i nGaeilge ag Gabriel Rosenstock agus á gcur i láthair ag Liam Ó Maonlaí, Hilary Bow agus The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra. Beidh íomhánna á dteilgean ar scáileán ag Margaret Lonergan i gcaitheamh an tseó. Léirithe ag IMRAM Féile Litríochta Gaeilge.

Bígí linn ar aistear chun na réaltaí.

David Bowie was defined by constant reinvention. His stage personas included Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane. His musical styles included the 'plastic soul' of Young Americans; the haunting instrumentals of Low; the pure pop of Let's Dance; and the beguiling experimentation of his final album Blackstar.

STARMAN features Irish language versions of Bowie's very best songs, transcreated by Gabriel Rosenstock, performed by Liam Ó Maonlaí, Hilary Bow and The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra. The show includes screen projections by Margaret Lonergan. Produced by IMRAM Irish Language Literature Festival.

Tionscadal Brecht: Amhráin Ón Ré Dhorcha

Léiriú de chuid IMRAM, Féile Litríochta Gaeilge.

I gComhar le Féile Litríochta Idirnáisiúnta Bhaile Átha Cliath

Tionscadal Brecht: Amhráin Ón Ré Dhorcha

Léiriú nua i nGaeilge arna sheiftiú agus arna léiriú ag Eric Fraad. Cuirfidh Caitríona O’Leary amhráin agus téacsanna de chuid Brecht inár láthair chun solas géar a chaitheamh ar an domhan polaitiúil agus sóisialta ina mairimid sa bhliain seo 2017.

Ar an gCéadaoin 24 Bealtaine 2017 cuirfidh Féile Litríochta Idirnáisiúnta Bhaile Átha Cliath i gcomhar leis an bhFéile Litríochta Gaeilge IMRAM Tionscadal Brecht: Amhráin ón Ré Dhorcha /Songs from the Dark Times i láthair in Amharclann Smock Alley. Is é an stiúrthóir Meiriceánach amharclainne agus ceoldrámaíochta Eric Fraad a stiúrfaidh agus is í an t-amhránaí nótáilte Caitríona O’Leary atá mar stiúrthóir ceoil. Tarraingíonn an léiriú Gaeilge seo as monalóga, radhairc, amhráin, saothair éagsúla ceoil agus dánta a chum an file/drámadóir Bertolt Brecht agus na cumadóirí Kurt Weill agus Hanns Eisler d’fhonn comparáidí a dhéanamh idir na réimis fhaisisteacha a tháinig chun cinn sna 1930í agus sna 1940í agus an borradh atá faoi rialtais thiarnúla na heite deise lenár linn féin.

Ba é Brecht an file agus an drámadóir polaitiúil ba mhó a bhí againn san Iarthar sa chéad leath den fhichiú haois agus tá a shaothar chomh suntasach is a bhí riamh. Sna saothair réabhlóideacha aige ar nós Die Dreigroschenoper  agus Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny chuir Brecht agus Weill cor nua sa cheoldráma, san oratóir agus seánraí gaolmhara ceoil, thug brí nua pholaitiúil agus shóisialta dóibh chomh maith le nuálaíocht foirme. Is féidir an rud céanna a rá faoina chuid dánta agus drámaí ar saothar suaithinseach iad. Déanann Amhráin ón Ré Dhorcha ceiliúradh ar an oeuvre liteartha agus ceoil sin i nGaeilge ár linne do phobal ár linne, i dteanga nach minic ar stáitsí na hardchathrach í.

Is í Féile Idirnáisiúnta Litríochta Bhaile Átha Cliath príomhfhéile litríochta na tíre a thugann cuid de na scríbhneoirí is fearr ar domhan le chéile ar mhaithe le díospóireacht, spreagadh, siamsaíocht agus draíocht.
 

Tugann IMRAM lucht féachana agus léitheoirí ar aistear draíochta chun nualitríocht na Gaeilge agus an domhain a chur ina láthair. Bíonn samhlaíocht agus éagsúlacht i gcónaí le sonrú ar chlár na féile, agus meascán neamhghnách de na seánraí éagsúla litríochta, filíocht, prós, drámaíocht agus ceol.
