The Irish Voice
I've just come across The Irish Voice, and was flooded with memories of my grandmother reading her paper every weekend. She would take the train into Boston every Saturday morning to do errands, catch up on gossip with friends over tea, and buy an Irish newspaper.
When I was young, I thought everyone was from Ireland. My grandmother's house was always filled with people who spoke of their childhood in Ireland, the politics of their homeland, and the history and myths they all shared (and all of those folk songs).
The Irish Voice reminds me of those days. Whether it was my family members sitting at the table, drinking tea and discussing the raging issues that were seperating thier country, or the endless tales and laughs that kept me, as a young child, sitting at my grandmother's feet for endless hours into late night.
The Irish Voice contains traditional news, as well as history, mythology, writers and legends. It is typically Irish, the way that I experienced being Irish as a child. The news is not just what is happening today and now, but what happened yesterday, and hundreds of yesterdays ago.
