In honour of today, I’ve recorded not one but THREE audio version of my cento poem Sinéading.

I hope you enjoy it — or at least get a laugh, on account of my poor accent and a capella stylings . . . I do have Irish heritage (Counties Clare and Cork), but it’s at least 4 generations back.

Spoken, with an accent.
This is the sung version.
In my normal speaking voice.

My original blog post, with the written work and numerous footnotes—these include more specific lyric source details, and some background information (aka, what was going on for me at the time of composing the cento):
