Selected Letters of Ernie O’Malley 1924–1957
Ernie O’Malley, revolutionary, writer and modernist, was one of the leading figures in the Irish independence and civil wars. For the first time, this new collection of letters, diaries and fragments opens up the broad panorama of his life to readers, enriching the history of Ireland’s troubled origins. Broken Landscapes tells of his journeys afterwards in Europe and the Americas, including Taos, where he mingled with the artistic set around D.H. Lawrence, and of friendships with Patrick Kavanagh, Liam O’Flaherty, Louis MacNeice and Jack B. Yeats. Through these wonderful chronicles we are able to perceive the intellectual foundations of twentieth-century Ireland. Cormac K.H. O’Malley is a legal consultant based in New York and son of Ernie O’Malley. Nicholas Allen is Moore Institute Professor at NUIG.

Introductory essay by Robert O’Byrne In 1969 renowned American photographer Susan Wood was sent to Ireland on an assignment by Vogue magazine. The images she took during her travels across the country – many of them never published – reveal a world now entirely vanished: towns and roads almost devoid of traffic; small thatched farmsteads still serving as family homes; a landscape untouched for centuries. With a pithy introduction by Robert O’Byrne, Susan Wood’s Ireland presents a country on the cusp of change and an Ireland lost forever. Susan Wood is an American photographer most notable for her work on movies such as Easy Rider and for her portraits of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Susan Sontag and Joseph Heller, among others. She photographed extensively in Ireland in the late 1960s and 1970s.
