It is about privilege and those who seek to have and perpetuate it through perverted contrivances of law. There was only one dissenting voice in parliament decrying this lassis faire policy of systematic 'genocide'. He lost his seat for it. This was broadly supported governmental policy of the same type and on the same scale as that inflicted on the Jews by Hitler. It is uncomfortable. We gloss it over. But the generations of McGuinnesses who survived it have passed it on to be kept alive. Gavin McGuiness is the voice of those generations of outrage. His self imposed literary isolation lifted, in a new language - 'American' - a poetic Irish Rosetta stone is unearthed.

AT LAST !
