Ar feadh beagnach dhá scór bliain, aimsir thinnis agus aimsir théarnaimh, cuid lárnach de shaol inmheánach Sheáin Uí Ríordáin ab ea a dhialann.

Iarracht atá sa deascán díolamtha seo óna dhialanna ar éachtaint a thabhairt ar aigne chéasta an fhile ar bhonn leanúnach ó thosaigh sé amach air sa bhliain 1940, go dtí an bhliain ar cailleadh é, 1977. Blaiseadh beag de bheatha na dialainne iomláine é, mar sin, tiomsaithe in aon bhliainfhéilire amháin, 365 iontráil, ceann in aghaidh an lae.

Fear mór líníochtaí, caracatúr agus pictiúr ab ea an Ríordánach, leis, agus cuid lárnach den imleabhar seo is ea na líníochtaí seo.

Corcaíoch agus léachtóir in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad, é an t-eagarthóir, Tadhg Ó Dúshláine.

For nearly forty years, through illness and recovery, Ó Ríordáin’s diary was a central part of life.

This anthology seeks to give an insight into the tortured mind of the poet, from 1940 when he began to write in his diary, right up to 1977, the year he died. It’s a small taste of what his full diaries have to offer with 365 entries, one for each day of the year.

Ó Ríordáin was also very taken with drawing caricatures and pictures, and many of his drawings are included in this volume.

Editor Tadhg Ó Dúshláine, a Cork native, is a lecturer in NUI Maynooth.
