part anthology and part transcribed conversation, ‘kind ground, black butter’ probes at the role of poetry as a decolonial practice and as a tool for resistance in the revival of marginalised languages. it sits in the context of ireland, with poems from renowned irish poets seamus heaney, nuala ní dhomhnaill and matthew sweeney as well as archival imagery from the dúchas collection, all of which anchor winding conversation on the topic throughout the book. more focused on exploration than presenting knowledge, this publication seeks to act as a point of entry into the folds of linguistic resistance.
