Apathy Is Out by Seán Ó Ríordáin trans. Greg Delanty TS Eliot Prize In the years since heSean O Riordain (1916 77) was the most important and most influential Irish language poet of modern times. He revitalised poetry in Irish, combining the world of Irish literature with that of modern English and European literature, thus adding to the Irish tradition from the other side. His poems 'seek to answer fundamental questions about the nature of human existence and the place of the individual in a universe without meaning' (Gearoid Denvir).
