The return of the traditional Irish lament
Mary Mc Laughlin restores the nearly lost Irish keening tradition as a powerful ritual of grief, transition, and Otherworld connection. Blending scholarship, folklore, and lived practice, she traces the keen from pre-Celtic roots through Christian suppression to its modern revival, revealing how keeners supported the dead, comforted the living, and navigated liminal realms.
