Fómhar / Autumn - Liam Ó Muirthile aistr./trans. Gabriel Rosenstock - An Fuíoll Feá / Wood Cuttings (Cois Life, 2013)

Mar chuid d'Fhéile Leabhar Bhaile Átha Cliath 2013, rinneadh ceiliúradh Dé Sathairn 16 Samhain ar An Fuíoll Feá: Rogha Dánta / Wood Cuttings: New and Selected Poems (tuilleadh eolais anseo) le Liam Ó Muirthile, aistrithe ag Gabriel Rosenstock. Sa taifead seo ón gceiliúradh, léann Liam an dán 'Fómhar' as an gcnuasach agus ina dhiaidh sin léann Gabriel Rosenstock an t-aistriúchán a rinne sé ar an dán agus míníonn sé an cur chuige aistriúcháin a tharraing sé chuige chun plé leis an dán áirithe seo.

Ar an lá, sheinn Iarla Ó Muirthile dreasanna ceoil den scoth mar anlann leis an bhféasta focal.

As part of the 2013 Dublin Book Festival 2013, on Saturday the 16th of November there was a celebration of An Fuíoll Feá: Rogha Dánta / Wood Cuttings: New and Selected Poems (more information here) by Liam Ó Muirthile, translated by Gabriel Rosenstock, . In this recording from the event, Liam reads first the original poem 'Fómhar' ('Autumn') in the Irish language and then Gabriel speaks about his approach to translating this particular poem before reading the translation itself.

On the day, Iarla Ó Muirthile provided musical interludes which related to some of the poems - a third language, in a sense.
