Duanairí

I expect this blog to be very much a work-in-process.  At the moment, I'm planning on primarily talking about early Irish poetics.  (Including how it's both similar and different from other early Northern European poetry.)  I may also spend some time on the Irish bardic culture, attempting to learn Old Irish, and other side projects.  I realize this is a very narrow focus in a lot of ways.  I don't expect to have many readers.

Since this is a process, I may contradict myself at some point.  Certainly, I've made mistakes in some of my earlier poetry that I wouldn't make now.  I'll try to make note of that as I go along.  If something is confusing, just drop a comment.  I'll try to clarify in later posts.
