title = "Eascar agus F{\'a}s: the Early Poetry of M{\'a}irt{\'i}n {\'O} Dire{\'a}in",
abstract = "Using post-structuralist and psychoanalytic literary theory (including Derrida, Lacan and Kristeva), this study explores {\'O} Dire{\'a}in's early poetry as an expression of the desire for fixed subjecthood and a stable identity vis {\`a} vis the poet's growing realization that the 'self' is a 'de-centred' or split 'subject-in-process'. The analysis draws on {\'O} Dire{\'a}in's prose writings, including Feamainn Bhealtaine ['Mayweed'].",
