He married the writer Mary Molly Gunning Maguire in 1912 and immigrated to New York in 1914. Though better known for his latter works in other fields his contributions to the early Irish Dramatic Movement were important. Three plays Broken Sail The Fiddler's House and The land revealed in simple language the strong conflicts between the world of the artist and the world of the land. He also achieved significant recognition away from the theater as a poet novelist essayist and children's book author. Colum and his wife taught Comparative Literature at Columbia University from 1939 to 1956 and in 1958 Columbia honored him with an honorary doctorate. He died in Enfield Connecticut on January 11 1972.

Padraic Colum Padraic Colum, one of the best known poets of the Irish Literary Revival throughout his long life faithfully recorded the landscape and colourful idiom of his native place. Colum was a respected man of letters, honoured by many Universities, who continued to bring the art of poetry to American students while he himself was then eighty years of age. Some of his better known poems include 'She moved through the fair', 'The Old Woman of the Roads' and 'The Drover' which begins with the following lines: 'From Meath of the pastures, to wet hills by sea, through Leitrim and Longford, go my cattle and me.' Colum has written plays, children's' lore and mythology, and biographies of his fried James Joyce and of the Irish patriot Arthur Griffith. 'She moved through the the fair' first popularized by the famous Irish John Count McCormack, has now become one of the best loved Irish lyrics. Padraic Colum was born in Longford Workhouse in 1881, where his father was Master. The family were abandoned by his father who left for the goldfields of Colorado, and Padraic was reared in North Longford where he became familiar with Granard, Colmcille, Bunlahy and Molly, place names which later occur in his literary output. In the final years of his life Colum stated 'I have always tried to use the speech of the people of Longford in my work', - the idiom he had learned at the poultry fairs in north Longford which he visited during his youth.

Padraic Colum was born in County Longford and as a youth met many who had lived through the Great Famine, which ravaged Ireland in the mid-19th century. His father was master of the workhouse (home for the destitute), and thus Padraic saw much of the poverty and land hunger of the people. His uncle was a poultry dealer, and the young Colum traveled with him to fairs and markets. There he met the wandering people of the roads, ballad singers, and storytellers and found inspiration for some of the poems which have become part of Ireland's literary heritage. "She Moves through the Fair" and "The Old Woman of the Roads" are among his numerous simple lyrics which have often been anthologized. Colum became deeply interested in poetry and theater, and he brought to the great Irish Literary Revival a young man's vision together with an inheritance from the ancient voice of the people. He was one of the founders of the

Courtesy Phillip Brown (See his Celtic Folklore site) Colum Padraic (1881-1972) Irish poet, dramatist, folklorist and children's writer, born in Longford County under the name Patrick Collumb. He was one of the founders of The Abbey Theatre in Dublin, and worked with Yeats and Lady Gregory. In 1914 he and his wife Mary left Ireland for America, soon entering New York literary circles. His books include a play The Land Wild Earth The King of Ireland's son (1916) a story for children, Dramatic legends Castle Conquer (1923) (his first novel) and Irish Elegies In the thirties the Colums left for France. There he renewed his old friendship with Joyce, for whom he typed parts of Finnegans Wake . He had before that contributed a preface to Anna Livia Plurabelle The Colums returned to America and were made US citizens in 1945. He wrote Our Friend James Joyce (1958) and Ourselves Alone , a biography of Griffin in 1959. I have always loved and admired Padraic Colum, second to few, and I have the greatest respect, and to confess the truth a little envy, of the wise and yet artless way he copes with the difficulties of life. Thus it was a pleasure to think of him in my rooms. (John Cowper Powys, Autobiography I met Colum at the office...He looked thinner again and more spiritual. I hope his affairs are all right. He spoke at length, leaning against the wall of the grand Central where he drifted with me - a hard marble support for such a wind-blown elf - of James Joyce and of his new book which no one living, not even Ezra Pound, can understand. All the disciples have fallen down trying in vain to follow this book - even T.S.Eliot can make nothing of it...(John Cowper Powys
