The act of translation is concerned with the slippages, peculiarities, and mysteries of language. Particularly with poetry, readers are invited into a whole new world of meaning and possibility, and that is what Julie Morrissy and Aedín Ní Bhróithe Clements hope to capture in this new edited translation Radacach! Mná agus Réabhlóid na hÉireann. From its beginning, they have been led by the activist women of the Rising and their deep relationships with the Irish language. They hope the multiple voices in this collaborative translation project amplify the diversity and extent of women’s engagement in the Irish Revolution.
The original pamphlet Radical! Women and the Irish Revolution by Julie Morrissy set them on their path for this investigation, and they are delighted to publish a wide-range of excellent writers in the Irish language. As editors, their approach has been to support these writers in bringing their own expertise, visions, and voices to the poems.
