My Story by Peter Oleary

These are the reminiscences of Peter O'Leary (Peadar O Laoghaire) (1839-1920), a priest and well-known orator who worked for land reform and the preservation of Gaelic. Living among the poor rural people in a crucial period of Irish history, he left in this book a valuable social document and a view of momentous events as seen by the common people. Readership: general; Irish interest.
Peter O'Leary is the author of Gnostic Contagion: Robert Duncan and the Poetry of Illness (2002), as well as several books of poetry, most recently The Sampo (2016), and he is the editor of a new edition of Ronald Johnson's ARK (2013). He teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Chicago.
