Michael Longley's Loving Tribute to Carrigskeewaun

Описание: 🕯 In Loving Memory of Michael Longley (1939–2025)

On this day, one year after his passing, we remember Michael Longley, one of Ireland’s most revered poets, with this poignant reading of his poem “Remembering Carrigskeewaun.”

Longley’s work is celebrated for its lyrical beauty and deep connection to the Irish landscape.
Carrigskeewaun, a remote and wild place in County Mayo, was central to his poetry—a symbol of nature, memory, and belonging. This reading captures the essence of his vision: the quiet power of words to evoke place and emotion.
