Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Book of Invasions ? Lebor Gabála Érenn ? is a compilation of manuscripts describing the very specific discovery of Ireland (?on the fifteenth, on a Saturday') following the Creation and the Flood. The Pop-Up Book of Invasions is Fiona Farrell's poetic response to a six-month stay in Ireland as inaugural recipient of the Rathcoola Residency in County Cork. Part travelogue, part family record, part song and myth |
