Baile Átha Cliath (Dublin)Biddy Jenkinson (which is a pseudonym) is a highly regarded Irish language writer and poet. She writes exclusively in Irish (Irish gaelic) and has produced several collections of poetry as well as prose and other writings.In 1991 she explained in a letter to the editor of the Irish University Review the reasons for her refusal to have her work translated into English in Ireland:"I prefer not to be translated into English in Ireland. It is a small rude gesture to those who think
that everything can be harvested and stored without loss in an English-speaking Ireland. If I were
a corncrake I would feel no obligation to have my skin cured, my tarsi injected with formalin so
that I could fill a museum shelf in a world that saw no need for my kind."***Two stories by contemporary Irish writer Biddy Jenkinson (in Irish).
