This week top Irish poem:
The poem "Ecce Puer" is literally translated to "Behold the Young Boy". It celebrates the birth of Joyce's grandson, Stephen James Joyce, in February 1932.
Ecce Puer By James Joyce - 1882-1941
Of the dark past
A child is born;
With joy and grief
My heart is torn.
Calm in his cradle
The living lies.
May love and mercy
Unclose his eyes!
Young life is breathed
On the glass;
The world that was not
Comes to pass.
A child is sleeping:
An old man gone.
O, father forsaken,
Forgive your son!

About the founder of Irish Around The World:
Okay, some of you might be wondering.
Just who runs this Irish Around The World website??
Or maybe you don't care, haha.
My name is Stephen Palmer from Co. Cork and I have been involved in many Irish related projects over the years.
While it may seem this website is run by a whole team of highly skilled Irishmen, it is just run by myself.
So I want to thank you again for taking the time to subscribe and being a part of the community.
So how did you start a website about Irish people around the world Stephen?
Where it all began:
I created a website in 2013 to help Irish people who are moving to Australia and recently a new group to help Irish ex-pats who are returning to Ireland.
I have always enjoyed reading about Irish heritage and how connected Irish people are around the world.
But I felt that the websites out there did not connect the people to the information. Instead, they just published daily articles regardless if people cared about them or not.
So I decided to change it and create my own Facebook community called Irish Around The World.
It expanded to a group also called Irish Around The World, now with over 70k members!
Many of you have probably seen me popping in, and out of our Facebook group has been amazing to see the interaction with each member.
There has been many ups and downs in the groups. Laughs and tears but every day, it continues to move forward. Thanks for being a part of it.
If you haven't joined yet, you don't know what you are missing, sign up here.
Thank you again for being a part of Irish Around The World.
Have a great day!
All the best,
Stephen Palmer
