Anne has a fascinating excerpt<\/a> from Conor Cruise O’Brien’s memoir. It has to do with Maud Gonne. Fascinating.<\/p>\n

And speaking of Maud Gonne … Emily has posted one of my favorite Yeats poems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Limerick contest <\/a>(and truly terrifying St. Patrick’s Day image) over at Michele’s.<\/p>\n

Alex has photos<\/a>!<\/p>\n

On a more serious note – PLEASE go and read Broom of Anger<\/a>. Powerful, man – I check in with her daily.<\/p>\n

Dan has some photos. <\/a> Of milky-skinned Irish bathing beauties … and also a poem by the man of a million aliases – Flann O’Brien.<\/p>\n

Top 10 Irish journeys.<\/a> No Aran Islands<\/i>?? Nice to see Puckoon by Spike Milligan there. Irish-guy in the pub at Glendalough<\/a> raved about this book, and recently sent it to me, because he could not stand that I had not read it yet.

This is another fun piece I found on Slugger: Wetting the shamrock<\/a>. A very fun piece.<\/p>\n

And of course … once again …<\/p>\n

I must link to this<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
