Ioannes O'Donohue (poeta)

Ioannes O'Donohue, Anglice John O'Donohue (natus die 1 Ianuarii 1956 in County Clare (Hibernia); mortuus 4 Ianuarii 2008 in Francia), fuit poeta Hibernicus et scholae Hegelianae philosophus, qui spiritualitatem Celticam insigniter adiuvit.^[1]

Natus est in Comitatu Clarensi die 1 Ianuarii 1956, structoris lapidibus filius. Litteris Tubingae studuit, et gradus theologiae philosophicalis doctoris ab Universitate Tubingensi ei concessus est anno 1990. In sacerdotum numerum receptus est, sed munus mox reliquit. Multas acroasis subinde fecit, praecipue in Civitatibus Foederatis Americae. Subito mortuus est in Francia die 3 Ianuarii 2008.

"Nemo", inquit eius laudatio in The Times, "qui cibo vinoque abstinebat, ipse voluptatem ex pelliculis et vischio percipiebat, cum eius poemata tam facile tellus Conamarense cum saxophono Rolandi Kirk coniugunt tam possunt annales vitae Iesu referre in sequentia quae natum ipsum amplectitur ("vultus ex lympha se explicat").^[2]
