In These Ancient Lands

“… and in these ancient lands/enchased and lettered as a tomb/and scored with prints of perished hands/and chronicled with dates of doom/I trace the lives such scenes enshrine/and their experience count as mine”. (Lines from Thomas Hardy’s On An Invitation To The United States.) Éıre takes the form of a woman, with two wolfhounds, between portraits of the ten deceased 1981 hunger strikers.
