As the Canadian winter becomes more "traditional" than we anticipated, we have taken the time to launch our Bluesky account! So, please follow us at @CAIS-Irish1973.bsky.social and take note of our ongoing Call for Papers for our June conference in Toronto! (Deadline: Feb 28)
There's no doubt that Michael Longley's name and work was much discussed in papers and talks given to audiences at the annual conferences of CAIS through not merely years but decades. A sad loss to lovers of poetry in Ireland and elsewhere.
The poet Michael Longley has died at the grand age of 85. He was one of the greatest lyrical poets writing in the English language. I feel the loss already of his necessary voice.
