My news for you
Anthology
Translated from Irish by Geoffrey Squires
My news for you is an anthology translated by Geoffrey Squires from Irish, gathering Ireland Irish-language poetry through a chorus of Irish poems arranged as news from a language that refuses disappearance. Its value comes from chorus rather than singular authorship, so I would not treat it as one poet's private weather. The better entrance is through announcement, gathering, translation, and the feeling that an anthology can arrive like a letter. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave room for wandering, disagreement, and surprise. My news for you belongs in the translated poetry library because it treats Irish-language poetry as living communication, not a heritage display. It gives a reader several doors into a tradition before asking them to choose only one.
