Poetry Reading by Domhnall Na Greine

‘Domhnall Na Greine in his life and work as a Poet,embodies a continuity encompassing both the Bardic and pre-Bardic,Druidic sensibility. He has studied with A.M.O.R.C (the ancient and mystical order of the rosy cross) for many years. The tenor and ambition of his work through the mediums of language, sculptor, and painting, present to us a vision of Being all but extinct or merely available through vicarious mythological studies. A man steeped in what it is to exist practically beyond the conditions of Modernity. In my experience he is a source and a bridge,‘a way’ toward discovery of the profound roots of Irish self inheritance’.
