About "Caoineadh Na Mara/Amen" by Mary MC Laughlin
Mary McLaughlin's 'Caoineadh Na Mara/Amen' merges the sea's roar with a prayer's hush. Traditional keening meets sacred Amen in a collision of pagan and Christian grief. The emotional tug is between wild lament and solemn acceptance—a wave that crests in sorrow then breaks into quiet benediction, leaving salt and silence behind.
