I'm gestating a theory on the Italia '90/Celtic tiger generation as the 1st since the 12th century not to suffer from the same hangover of colonialism as previous generations. Older scholars told me as an undergrad I would have to leave Ireland to make it as an academic as that was their experience.

We chat Poet-President Michael D. Higgins, the high status of poets, constrained poetical forms, the popularity of the blackbird in Irish poetry, Seámus Heaney, whether medieval Irish poetry rhymed, how to become a poet and much more! Thanks @maynoothuniversity.ie @researchireland.ie for support.
