Micheál Mac Suibhne, Irish poet, c. 1760-1820.
Mac Suibhne was born near Cong, then part of County Galway but now in County Mayo. He spent most of his life in Connemara
In 1846, James Hardiman wrote of him: "In this disctrict (Doon, Omey Island, Clifden) there lately lived a neglected poetical genius, whose name was Michael Mac Sweeney, who, though held in high repute by his countrymen, was suffered to die in poverty; but this, it is said, often occours in half-civilized communities, where pride and ignorance are generally prevelant. By the English-speaking portion of the people, Mac Sweeney was the 'Bard of the West.' He composed, in his native language, several poems and songs of considerable merit; which have become such favourites, that there are few who cannot repeat some of them from memory. Many of these have been collected by the Editor; and if space shall permit, one or more of the most popular will be inserted in the Additional Notes, as a specimen of modern Irish versification, and of those compositions which afford so much social pleasure to the good people of Iar-Connacht.
In the Additional Notes to Iar-Connacht, Hardiman included the full version of Abnan an Phuca, the Connemara Wedding and Eoghain Coir by Mac Suibhne.
