Happy St Patrick's Day / Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir! ☘️☘️☘️ The Niagara Gorge had a touch of green in the water this weekend...no dye needed!
As the Canadian winter becomes more "traditional" than we anticipated, we have taken the time to launch our Bluesky account! So, please follow us at @CAIS-Irish1973.bsky.social and take note of our ongoing Call for Papers for our June conference in Toronto! (Deadline: Feb 28)
There's no doubt that Michael Longley's name and work was much discussed in papers and talks given to audiences at the annual conferences of CAIS through not merely years but decades. A sad loss to lovers of poetry in Ireland and elsewhere.
The poet Michael Longley has died at the grand age of 85. He was one of the greatest lyrical poets writing in the English language. I feel the loss already of his necessary voice. BBC One - Michael Longley - Where Poems Come From bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Recent launch of new book by CAIS member and featured keynote speaker (2024) Mark McGowan exploring the post-1847 lives of Irish Famine orphans in Canada. Great lecture and packed house - congrats to Mark! @uStMikes @McGillQueensUP @IrlEmbCanada #irishincanada

All great conferences come to an end, even co-hosted ones. A pleasure working with @uofgalway this year. Great vibes all round, and their thank-you cards are a lovely touch! Míle buíochas to the CIS committee and CAIS/GCIS participants! @johnjb02 @LNiChoistealbha #irishincanada
Our day 3 speaker Joe Mancinelli of @LIUNA related the emigration story and leadership skills of #Athlone -born Gerry Gallagher to the rise in labour unionization as construction boomed in postwar #Ontario and #Toronto. Fantastic talk! @uniofgalway @joemancinelli #irishincanada
