| dc.description.abstract | [Abstract] The present article analyses Medbh McGuckian’s “The Contingency of Befalling”, an unpublished poem dealing with present-day climate crisis from an ecofeminist stance. Arguably, the poet is part of the Northern Irish elegiac trend in dealing with issues of her country, but she departs from a male-dominated tradition and connects lament with ethical, political, national, ecological and women’s issues. This poem is related to those in her recent book Marine Cloud Brightening (2019), in which she included mournful poems for both her brother and other Irish poets who passed away in recent times, with special attention to Seamus Heaney. McGuckian’s vision of the situation of the earth and of those living in it is gloomy, and she connects it with hardship, should rulers’ policies remain unchanged. | es_ES |
| dc.description.abstract | [Resumen] El presente artículo analiza el poema inédito de Medbh McGuckian “The Contingency of Befalling”, que aborda la actual crisis climática desde una posición ecofeminista. Podría decirse que la poeta forma parte de la tendencia elegíaca de Irlanda del Norte al tratar cuestiones de su país, pero se aparta de una tradición dominada por los hombres y conecta el lamento con cuestiones éticas, políticas, nacionales, ecológicas y relacionadas con las mujeres. Este poema está conectado con los de su reciente libro Marine Cloud Brightening (2019), en el que se incluyen poemas de duelo tanto por su hermano como por otros poetas irlandeses fallecidos recientemente, con especial atención a Seamus Heaney. La perspectiva de McGuckian sobre la situación de la tierra y de los que viven en ella es sombría y la vincula con las penurias, si las políticas de los gobernantes no cambian. | es_ES |
