Om bidragsyterne
Gabriel Fitzmaurice was born in 1952 in the village of Moyvane, Co. Kerry, where he still lives. He has taught in the local national school, of which he is principal, since 1975. He is the author of more than thirty books, including collections of poetry in English and in Irish. Books Ireland described him as 'one of Ireland's favourite poets'. He has published a volume of essays, Kerry on my Mind, and collections of songs and ballads. He frequently broadcasts on radio and television on education and the arts. His translations from the Irish are also available in Poems from the Irish.
I rhyme my native village with Cezanne, The place I live and represent in art, A poet finds genius where he can, The picture that he paints is of his heart. A child, an adolescent and a man With a vision that the world couldn't thwart, And still remaining faithful to my plan, I write about my village, show it warts And all - I must. But I'm a celebrant, Not one whose whole ambition's to distort: Who would grotesque a village like Moyvane Is painting false, a sell-out to the smart. I rhyme my native village with Cezanne, A poet finds genius where he can.
