b'Back in 2015, the Paris Review ran an article on Robert Frost\\u2019s poem, \\u201cThe Road Not Taken\\u201d and concluded that it is - by some distance - the best known and most widely referenced poem of the twentieth century. Nothing else comes close. And yet, it is as misunderstood as it is famous. Many poems, or extracts from poems, are misread outside their original context - like Frost\\u2019s other line, \\u201cgood fences make good neighbours\\u201d and Beckett\\u2019s \\u201cFail Again, Fail Better\\u201d.\\xa0\\n\\n\\nAnd what of Irish poetry - are the best known Irish poems well understood? What is the most searched for Irish poem anyway? In this week\\u2019s episode, Darach and Peadar consider the pitfalls that face such research but march in regardless. They also reflect on the most popular song lyrics in Irish and what those words say about us.\\n\\n\\nListener mail this week from Belgium and Tipperary!\\xa0\\n\\n\\nFor more comments see @EnyaComments on twitter.\\n\\n---\\n\\n\\nSupport Motherfocloir on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/darach\\xa0\\n\\n\\nGet Kirsten Shiel art prints here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/kirstenshiel/\\xa0\\n\\n\\n---\\n\\n\\nContact the show:\\n\\n\\nwhatsapp - +353894784713\\n\\n\\n\\ntwitter - @motherfocloir and @theirishfor\\n\\n\\nemail - motherfocloir@headstuff.org\\n\\n\\n\\n---\\n\\n\\nWant to record your own podcast?\\xa0\\n\\n\\nCheck out our studios at https://thepodcaststudios.ie\\n\\n\\n\\nOr do it online at https://remotely.fm/?coddle\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
