Description
MacLean's finest work is to be found in the sequence of themed poems, Dàin Do Eimhir agus Dain Eile/Poems to Eimhir and Other Poems (1943). Written mostly during the 1930s, the sequence consists of forty-eight love poems addressing a universal 'eimhir', or woman. At the heart of the poems is a sense of lamentation for lost love and opportunity yet they are also sharply political.
