Atrocity Ár is a poignant bilingual haiku collection by Dr Ciarán Ó Coigligh ensuring no life is reduced to a statistic. Each poem memorializes victims of past atrocities, capturing their humanity with striking simplicity. The emotional weight of accumulated loss reinforces the book’s impact, countering political revisionism of the “Troubles.” Both a literary achievement and a personal journey, this work stands as a deeply affecting tribute to those lost to political violence on the Island of Ireland.
