{"product_id":"ethnology-1","title":"Ethnology","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEthnology \u003c\/em\u003edraws on the mystical cry for the dead of Cathy Galvin's Irish-speaking ancestors. Within an epic narrative she reclaims place, people and language, creating a bridge between our own times and a Connemara community on the margins of Europe. Drawing on classic forms within literary and oral traditions, Ethnology becomes a love song for Connemara, witness to vivid encounters: between the living and the dead and between the poets, folklorists and ethnologists who have written about the West of Ireland for their own agendas. In her first full-length book of poetry, fragility and strength are finely balanced, focused on the ruins of an island cottage built by her great-grandfather. Here, Cathy Galvin locates both mourning, humour and joy. The poems give a vivid, original voice to the tradition of keening, of honouring the loss of those we love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloodaxe Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807526797656,"sku":"9781780377728","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781780377728_72c49db4-990d-4f41-aeb7-766e4eaf3ddf.jpg?v=1778017527","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ethnology-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
