| Paratext Text | fuair bás ag Hiroshima Dé Luain, 6ú Lúnasa, 1945 |
| Notes | One of the most significant works of twentieth-century Irish literature. Ó Tuairisc explores his grief for the people of Hiroshima through a journey through Dublin, which itself has been destroyed by the bomb, as have the people of Hiroshima. All of humanity has been implicated in the creation and use of the atomic bomb. Ó Tuairisc's poem contains a wealth of references: historical, cultural, cinematic, architectural, philosophical, mythological. The Celtic, Christian, and Classical traditions are here merged in an attempt to make sense of the greatest disaster of the twentieth century. The poem is a lyric sequence, structured almost identically to the pre-Vatican II Latin mass, with nine sections, all with Latin titles relating to an aspect of the mass. This publication contains the sections 'Kyrie' and 'Graduale' of the poem only. |
