Whisperings of Ireland by Storyteller Batt Burns

Wednesday, February 10, 2010 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

As a child, Batt Burns experienced the seanachie (storyteller) tradition firsthand when he lived with his grandfather in the Hills of County Kerry, and heard him tell stories by the fire during the harsh winter nights.

Today Burns helps to preserve that Irish heritage with haunting accounts of ghosts, great adventure stories, tales of heroes, farcical stories and witty jokes. In his recitations of poetry, he draws on the rich field of Irish poets including W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Patrick Kavanagh, Padraic Colum, Brendan Kennelly and Seamus Heaney.

Burns is the author of many school textbooks and stories and he has produced tapes and CDs of poetry and storytelling. In February 2009, he launched his new book of Irish Folktales (Sterling Publishing, New York) in the US. It was winning the All Ireland Teachers Talent Competition in 1983 that started him on the road to his
