Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Poethead</strong> was established in 2008. The site was conceived and planned as a woman-friendly publishing platform that prioritises women poets, their translators, and their editors. This space has been open to beginning and established poets regardless of their age, experience, or ethnicity for thirteen years. The striking imbalance and lack of parity of esteem accorded to Irish women’s writing is collated and archived at Fired! Irish Women Poets and the Canon and at RASCAL (Research And Special Collections Available Locally). Submissions to this site are closed. <br /><br />Poethead is one of only two Irish publishing platforms that host indexes centered in women’s literary art. Irish women’s poetry has been continuously neglected and canonically ignored. There are two indexes built into Poethead that are dedicated to women poets, an <strong>Index Of Women Poets</strong> is devoted to women poets from many countries. While <strong>Contemporary Irish Women Poets</strong> represented an ongoing attempt to index contemporary women poets from Ireland. Billy Mills’ site <strong>Elliptical Movements</strong> carries an Irish Women Poets Category which is concerned in publishing the work of some earlier Irish women poets. I am interested in poetic processes, experimental poetry, translated work, and visual poetry. That we have a small poetry avant-garde in these areas is very clear, that they are not supported or encouraged by Irish poetry book editors is also clear. An overweening emphasis on the book as product reduces the field of poetry to a narrow conservatism that is not actually reflective of poetry’s renaissance as an art form. Publishers are not using digital tools to create platforms for encouraging new work, nor are they creating accessible digital archives. There is a very real need for more platforms to showcase new and experimental work by emerging poets. How the reader encounters the poem and the visibility of the poet in a digital age should be matters of import to all publishers and editors of poetry in planning their long-term digital strategies. <br /><br />Historical and contemporary neglect In Ireland, an undue emphasis on the post-colonial and heroic narratives effectively locked out women poets. Our literary narratives have mistrusted modernism, experimentalism, and sexual anarchism. Current cultural discourses eschew the influence of Irish women poets in the canon. The choices that were made and continue to be made site poetry written by Irish women in the 1960s and 1970s with little to show before that era. A very recent improvement in the platforming of women poets has only occurred within the last decade and has done absolutely nothing to address previous absences from the canon. The causes and issues of women poets’ exclusion remain unaddressed by the major publishers and universities who have improved their lists but ignored their own historical failures. <br /><br />The editors’ categories on the Poethead site are relatively new and include references to the funding and editing of women editors and translators. My posts and articles are about the women editors who have brought such writers as Simone Weil, Julian of Norwich, Dante and others to a contemporary audience. The list of women editors mentioned in the blog includes<em> Eavan Boland, Cate Marvin, Marion Glasscoe, Dorothy L. Sayers and Joan Dargan,</em> to name but a few. Poethead carries links to the Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights and to UBUWEB, both are concerned with the issue of the poet’s voice, the dissemination of literature, and in the intellectual rights of writers to the ownership of their own work. I like sites such as Jacket 2, Nomadics, Poetry Ireland, Guernica, and Harriet and I frequently link to them. About Copyright and CC-Licenses on Poethead. <br /><br />Copyright of individual poems published on this site remains with the author and/or translator of the work. The Poethead site uses cc-licenses to identify this owner’s right to assert ownership of the site and to her original works published therein. These works include original poems, critiques, reviews, and essays by C. Murray. Most of those CC-Licenced poems have been previously published in Irish Journals or in online magazines.

Description
An account of the resource
<span>The short biographies of contemporary women poets who are living, have lived, or who are currently practicing in Ireland. I began collating this page and an index of contemporary Irish women poets due to high search engine demands for their work.

She considers the subversive nature of women’s poetry written between 1921 and 1950, and calls into question the critical assumption that Eavan Boland represents “the first serious attempt in Ireland to make a body of poems that arise out of the contemporary female consciousness”. <strong>In Object Lessons</strong>, Boland concluded that there were no women poets before her who communicated “an expressed poetic life” in their work. Emma’s thesis reveals how this view has permeated the critical landscape of women’s poetry, facilitating an absurd privation of the history of poetry by women in Ireland and simplifying it in the process.</span></p>

<div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Anamaría Crowe Serrano</strong> is a poet and translator born in Ireland to an Irish father and a Spanish mother. She grew up bilingually, straddling cultures, rarely with her nose out of a book. Languages have always fascinated her to the extent that she has never stopped learning or improving her knowledge of them. She enjoys cross-cultural and cross-genre exchanges with artists and poets. Much of her work is the result of such collaborations. With a B.A. (Hons) in Spanish and French from Trinity College Dublin, Anamaría went on to do an M.A. in Translation Studies at Dublin City University. Since then, she has worked in localization (translating hardware and software from English to Spanish), has been a reader for the blind, and occasionally teaches Spanish. For over 15 years she has translated poetry from Spanish and Italian to English. Anamaría is the recipient of two awards from the Arts Council of Ireland to further her writing. Her translations have won many prizes abroad and her own poetry has been anthologised in <strong>Census</strong> (Seven Towers), <strong>Landing Places</strong> (Dedalus), Pomeriggio (Leconte) and other publications. She is currently translations editor for <em><strong><a style="color:#000000;" href="www.colony.ie." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colony Journal</a></strong></em></span></div>

When she wrote it was in order to provide a history of her times and an insight into what made her family so strange. Like many of her generation she did not write much about her own feelings and her humourous and optimistic nature does not really come through in her writing.

Break the glass

Proceed from your room—

<strong>IV.</strong>
<strong>Soft, the softening rain</strong>
Sing to pierce the breast —
sing to pierce the breast,
nighthooks brim to split.
Sing to pierce the night—
sing to pierce the night
-hooks brim to split.
Dawn’s contraction,
slow the opening—
orchid-white a Yellow
toned-song to loosen the gum
that holds peony’s ample heart.

</strong><strong>
Lares</strong>
Pause –
I am night (dark) afraid.
Begin now. Begun, My
mourning for what was–
(not) slaked by light’s coming.
The Lares of my house is
twice-lit: dawn’s advent,
night’s candle.

<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">This is an excerpt from a reflection on Gold Friend published online in the <strong>Irish Times (16/09/2020)</strong>. Thanks very much to <strong>Martin Doyle</strong> who offered me the space to write about the book and about Poethead.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">…The convergence of influence and imagery that is inherent in Gold Friend began at Drimnagh Castle and works from there into other places and into other books too.

<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">The title of my book is <em>Gold Friend</em>. The phrase or image associated with it is derived from an Anglo-Saxon poem <em>The Wanderer</em> which is rooted in elegy and in personal displacement. These are the themes of the book, which I will allude to a bit later on in this short essay.</span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Gold Friend</em> began, as my books do, from a collection of small themed notebooks. In this case, it originally comprised five small books that were loosely thematically related according to how I compose or create the poem image</span></p>

I wrote the chapter “A Modern Encounter With Foebus Abierat” - based on Eavan Boland’s translation of “Phoebus was gone, all gone, his journey over” which I felt encapsulated Eavan Boland’s ideas as a woman and a poet. The kernel of the translation is of female transgression against the established order. Eavan asked to meet me and was delighted with the essay. I think meeting her meant so much to me as a poet and we remained in touch over the last four years of her life, through committee work, or meetings, or emails. She picked me up after a bad burn-out and I am very grateful to have known her. We need to talk about her interventions in the areas of equality and diversity.

<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">The individual poet navigates the personal within their own language-ecology, be their art textual or performative. Poets are makers of books, and book-making is not about rushing hidebound into a narrative expectation that requires conformity in how it should be. The art of the poet and their relation to language should stand apart from narrative concerns, and be responsive alone to the interiority of the poet. However, we live in an age where it is quite easy to exert pressures on the poet to conform to linguistic and other ideologies that do not reflect their own relation to language and to their personal symbol use. The job of the academy and the vaunted book publishing industry who may, for instance, desire their eco-crisis to be delivered in short sharp dilutable doses is to follow the poet. It is not their role to impose a narrative that amounts to a concoction of ideological stances having nothing to do with the poet’s relationship to their art.

<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>"The Cambridge Companion to Irish Poets</strong> (2017) catalysed a lot of discussion on the canon and its absences. There was a lot of talk about how we could approach this problem, which we all believe represented another iteration of a consistent problem. Each poet or academic involved has their own take, their own story, on how the absence of women has affected their work, esteem or their sense of the appalling lack in respect for the woman poet’s voice. Mine is simple, I do not want to be part of a generation of writers that did not face this and interrogate that absence. I do not want my daughter’s generation doing the work of interrogation and asking why we, now, are too lazy or complacent or afraid to question the Irish perception of poetic authority. I am not someone who feels that it is right to walk away."</span></p>

<p><span>A photo-essay detailing the creation of an artwork "Den Of Sibyl Wren (2018) for the book "A Hierarchy of Halls" (Published Smithereens Press, 2018)<br /><br /></span></p>
<div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>The Den of Sibyl Wren</strong> is my response to Chris Murray's <strong>A Hierarchy of Halls</strong> published by <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><span style="color:#f2973d;text-decoration:underline;">Smithereens Press</span></em></span> It is my response to words Chris wrote about how she feels about this poem, and what she sees in her mind’s eye.</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"> </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"> Details of the image '<strong>Den of Sibyl Wren'</strong> by <em><span style="color:#003366;"><span style="color:#f2973d;"><a style="color:#f2973d;" href="https://www.salmaahmadcaller.com/">Salma Ahmad Caller</a></span> </span></em></span></div>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<div align="justify"> </div>
<div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em><strong>Materials</strong>: Watercolour, Indian ink, collage, graphite and gold pigment on Fabriano acid-free paper 57cm x 76.3cm<br /><br /><b>Notes on the process of creating the art work for 'A Hierarchy of Halls' (Smithereens Press, 2018)</b><br /></em></span></span>
<div>
<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">My process involves intense working back and forth with words and images in my imagination. I write a lot as part of my creative process as an artist, and these writings help me create and develop visual images. The so-called ‘visual’ image is to me embodied, materialised, haptic and tactile. So the ‘image’ in poetry and metaphorical writing is almost the same as the visual image in art, to me. So there is not a huge gap between text and image. Not in my mind in any case. The flat 2 D image is neither flat nor 2 D – but rather it is a complex and multi-dimensional terrain of emotion, sensation and concept, just as is the written word, especially in poetry.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;" align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>So it felt very natural to respond to Chris Murray’s very imagistic poetry, which I already love so much.</em></span></p>
</div>
<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">In preparing to make work in response to <strong>A Hierarchy of Halls,</strong> I spent time reading and re-reading the poems and reading and re-reading Chris’s little notes she had sent to me via Twitter. And so the The <strong>Den of Sibyl Wren</strong> emerged. My notes on my own thoughts and responses to reading <strong>A Hierarchy of Halls</strong> and to what Chris told me about her notion of a Sibyl that represented the wren and its qualities:</span></p>
<ul><li><span style="color:#000000;">The smallness and greatness of Sibyl Wren, her green den of spaces that we cannot see and her flight paths carved out in the sky. Tiny but potent and majestic in her domain.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A shamanistic female bird being interpreting or bringing the mysteries of the other worldly to us.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A materialisation of the invisible.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A feminine nature of delicacy, strength and bravery. A guardian.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">An oracle seeing into the unknown and leading the reader bravely forwards through pain and difficulty.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A garden world of tiny potent things.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A sky above that is carved into great structures and pathways by nature that we cannot see.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A fecundity and joyfulness. Spring, summer.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A soaring upwards towards mystery.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">Invisibility of worlds around us and within us.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">The dandelion clock telling of another time besides the time we know.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A bird shrine under a shadowy tree to the dead bird in Chris’s poem.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:#000000;">A tiny female presence sitting and moving in an underworld of unseen unspoken spaces.</span></li>
</ul><br /><h3 style="text-align:center;" align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">Twitter Notes</span></h3>
<p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;">What <strong>Chris Murray</strong> said in a series of little Twitter notes to me: <em>“The chapbook is called 'a hierarchy of halls' and is about small things, flight, wrens, and huge dreamlike structures are implied. My sibyls and messengers are birdlike creatures/ the little chapbook is called 'a hierarchy of halls' and is about a wren's flight through my garden, am obsessed with bird workings. I didn't see a sibyl specifically in bodies, but the first image on the Poethead page has a little putti. This is how my head works: I see the wren as a type of sibyl, a small messenger, and female. The sibyl should represent the wren! A type of oracle who leads one into the book.</em></span></p>
