Crann na Teanga/The Language Tree– Irish Times review 3rd October 2020
Crann na Teanga/The Language Tree by Cathal Ó Searcaigh (The Irish Pages Press/Cló an Mhíl Bhuí, £28) is a handsome hardback volume of his selected poems that stretches back to 1975 and his earliest publications. It offers readers an insight into the 16 collections published over 40 years. Just as early Irish poems mapped the connections between the pagan and Christian eras, Ó Searcaigh’s links between the Irish literary tradition and the poetry of other realms.
