What stories does the Atlantic wind whisper to those who spend a lifetime on its edge?

In Voice from Sceilg (Glór ón Sceilg), readers are invited into the intimate world of Mícheál Ua Ciarmhaic (1906–2005). A fisherman, farmer, and painter from the rugged coast of Baile an Sceilg in Uíbh Ráthach, Ua Ciarmhaic captured the soul of a community living in the shadow of the Skelligs.

Spanning works published between 1984 and 2000, this anthology curates the finest prose and poetry from his original Irish-language collections. It offers a rare, insider’s perspective on the folklore, maritime traditions, and daily struggles of a life deeply intertwined with the sea and the land.

More than just a memoir, the book stands as a vital cultural archive. It preserves the unique dialect and heritage of the Iveragh Peninsula, celebrating the resilience of the human spirit against the backdrop of a changing Ireland.
