A selection of poems written between 2015 and 2025, Conamara agus Tíortha Eile (Connemara and Other Countries) features work in six languages - Gaelic, English, French, German, Welsh and Breton. The book is a successor to The Birth of Trystan (Curach Bhán 2014), Rún na mBradán (Coiscéim 2016) and The Crooked Road (Curach Bhán 2016). A horizontal, prismatic, and stateless anthology, Conamara agus Tíortha Eile is a record of a decade during which the poet bused, railed, planed, walked and cycled around a half a dozen countries earning a living from pen and flute. This work is dedicated to the poet's grandchildren.

Available from leabharbreac.com (2025).

See below the Gaelic language text of the poet's address to Éigse na Bruiséile 2025 in the Embassy of Ireland, Brussels on the occasion of the European launching of the book.
