An Díbeartach

Tháinig is d’imigh fir an bhruscair.
Táim im luí ar thaobh sráide
faoin mbáisteach ag bogadh sall is anall
ar mo bholg plaisteach sa ghaoith.
Tá máilín cruinn súchaite tae
greamaithe dem chléibh,
cárta poist de thráigh aislingiúil dem thóin.
Dá bhféadfainn breith ar mo hata
atá caite i mbéal geata
ní bheifeá ag sá do shúl
chomh sotalach síos i m’anam dorcha,
tusa a bhfuil do hata geal miotail
fáiscthe anuas go dlúth ar do cheann.

Der Verworfne

Die Müllmänner kamen und gingen.

Ich liege im Rinnstein im Regen

kollere ich her und hin

auf meinem Plastikbauch im Wind.

An die Brust ein rundes gebrauchtes

Teebeutelchen gepresst,

eine Postkarte mit Traumstrand am Arsch.

Käm ich doch bloß an meinen Deckel

den’s in den Torweg geweht hat

du würdest nicht so von oben herab

mir in die dunkle Seele starren,

du mit dem metallglänzenden Hut

so tief in die Stirn gedrückt.

* 20.04.1950, Cork, Irska
† 19.06.2005, Sligo, Irska

Michael Davitt was born in Cork in 1950 as son of an English mother and an Irish father neither of whom had any knowledge of Irish.

He developed a creative relationship with the language already in his early years at Primary school. He studied Celtic languages at University College Cork where he met his fellow poets Gabriel Rosenstock and Nuala Ní Dhomnhnaill. This group, called the Innti group after the magazine which Davitt edited until 1996 created a new vibrant movement in Irish poetry which was, at once, avant garde and rooted in Gaelic tradition. He has dedicated his working life to the regeneration of the language as a creative force at a time when the historic Gaeltacht has been in decline.

He worked as a reporter and presenter for the Irish radio station RTÉ.

In 1982 he published his first collection of poetry Gleann ar Gleann, shortly followed by the poetry collection Bligeard Bráide in 1983. His poetry has been deeply influenced by the Beat generation and by popular culture. Davitt’s poems show his favour for highly risky innovations with language and form. His poems have a wide-awake conscience that holds a mirror to contemporary Irish society. His poem Deora do Mheiriceá (Tears for America) is a response to September 11th. Davitt’s work has been described by fellow poet Louis de Paor as “a saluatary shock to the system”. His latest poetry collection Fardoras was awarded the Oireachtas Prize for Poetry.

All in all he has published six volumes of poetry. A selection of his poems Dánta 1966-1998 will appear later this year along with a collection of new poems.
