SUMMARY:Cahal Dallat walk - 19 Feb
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday afternoon 19 February the ILS will be making an outing to Bedford Park for a walk led by the poet Cahal Dallat – members will remember Cahal and his accordion from our London Irish Poetic Tradition event back in November 2016. This is a members-only event which takes in the home of the Yeats family and considers\, through visits to the houses of artists\, publishers\, painters\, composers and politicians\, how Bedford Park in the late 19th century allowed Irish culture in London to flourish and grow\, and return something to the society left behind.  \nIts a fascinating experience which provides an insight into how the utopian community at Bedford Park made it possible for artists\, actors\, illustrators\, engravers\, painters\, playwrights and poets to live inexpensively but within easy reach of London’s theatres\, press\, publishers and political centres. The walk is an essential antidote to the ‘lone genius’ illusion as it places Irish artists alongside William Morris and other great figures and shows how their exchanges helped to develop the late-19c progressive agenda that was to become the blueprint for 20th thought: anti-imperialist\, in favour of Irish freedom and Indian independence\, vegetarian\, pacifist\, interested in world religions and cultures\, alternative\, feminist…Happy to play the romantic\, in the end he inhabits a world which is exploratory and unsettledFortnight\, on Cahal's poetry\nThe walk is not for the faint-hearted as we will be out for 2hrs. So\, you’ll need robust shoes\, stamina and probably a brolly. We’ll be finishing up outside a pub and plan to have some space so that we can collapse after and read some relevant texts with a drink. The ILS is subsidising the walk and Cahal is generously donating the fee to the Bedford Park fund for a statue of Yeats. See Cahal’s project here: http://www.cahaldallat.com/yeats \n\n\nCahal Dallat\nSince moving to London 40 years ago the Ballycastle native has been a computer scientist and a critic\, a musician and a broadcaster. Dallat’s literary horizons broadened when he joined a nascent poetry workshop run by Robert Greacon\, an esteemed Dublin writer who had relocated to London. His poetry appears in a range of literary magazines & anthologies\, in Trio 7 (with John Kelly & Sean McWilliams\, Blackstaff Press\, 1992)\, Morning Star (Lagan Press\, 1998) and in The Year of Not Dancing (Blackstaff Press\, 2009).

SUMMARY:St Patrick's Day event 2016
DESCRIPTION:The Irish Literary Society will be celebrating St Patrick’s Day 2016 with a members’ only event at two galleries and a lunch. Reserve your place by contacting the ILS Hon. Secretary: irishlitsoc@gmail.com \n11am – Tour and talk at Photographers’ Gallery\n12.30 – lunch\n2pm – Tour and talk at Royal Society of Medicine \nWe will be starting the day at The Photographers Gallery with a talk by curator Luke Dodd and tour of the exhibition. This will followed by lunch and then moving on to the Royal Society of Medicine and the library exhibition The Dublin Doctors an exhibition which describes and celebrates the many advances to medical science made by the 19th century surgeons and physicians of Dublin. \n\nCountess Markievicz c.1915 (Sean Sexton Collection) \n\nEaster Rising 1916 exhibition at The Photographers’ Gallery\nThis exhibition is drawn from Sean Sexton’s photographic collection and curated by Luke Dodd. It investigates the significant role played by photography in informing the national consciousness that led to Irish independence\, using the 1916 rebellion as a central focal point. It features approximately eighty rarely seen photographs and ephemera\, including souvenir postcards\, albums\, stereoscopic views\, press and military photographs. \nThe exhibition encompasses a broad range of photographic documents of key events during the transformative years between the 1840s and 1930s. These include portraits of executed leaders\, scrapbooks\, collages and images of rebellion sites collected as memorabilia. Issues of authenticity and manipulation are explored in images of evictions and military drills – possibly staged for the camera. The contribution of women as active participants in the Rising is also addressed\, as well as the women who practiced photography early in its development.\n \nThe Dublin Doctors exhibition at the Royal Society of Medicine.\nThis exhibition describes and celebrates the many advances to medical science made by the 19th century surgeons and physicians of Dublin. The practice of medicine was then inevitably involved with the troubled history of Ireland and her aspirations to nationhood. Among the physicians featured in the exhibition are Robert Graves\, William Stokes\, and Sir William Wilde (father of Oscar). Robert Greenwood\, curator of the exhibition and Heritage Officer of the Royal Society of Medicine will give a talk and lead a tour of the exhibition.
