I’ve been thinking a lot about elegy lately and its capacity for helping to think through climate crisis, habitat loss etc. And there’s interesting work on relationships between endangered habitats and endangered languages.
Does anyone know of Irish language poetry in the form of eco elegy?

I’m afraid that 32 years in HE in a range of roles leads me to be cynical at best about that claim

But the point stands - the traditional arts degree is dead in the water despite its many many virtues (and its incredible record in Ireland of producing highly competent graduates whose contribution to national life is enormous)
