Hello,
I hope I am not misusing this...... with that said,
I am writing a paper fo a review on the topic of the conflict in N. Ireland,
in historic terms as it relates to folklore, mythology and music of the area,
how these are used/viewed by both sides in the conflict, and how these
interests might affect the future of the country as pertains to talks
ongoing. As such I have an interest in art and music, as conflict
resolution, as conflict/stress management and as a rallying point for both
sides, as Yeats' poem "Easter Rising 1916" served with its references to
leaders of that attempt, and "Under Ben Bulben" with its admonishment to
Irish poets.
Thank you,
Sincerely

Amy Peterson
