Description:Dinneen writes "This book more than the other poems I edited needs wholesome reviewing as it has not an English introduction, a fact which troubles my soul" and mentions Úna Ní Fhairceallaigh, Eoin Mac Neill and Pearse himself as people he would like to review the book when published. Dinneen states "The Claidheamh [Soluis] seems hopeless as a medium for review. Let no one say Cill Airne was 'reviewed' in Claidheamh", referring to his book 'Cill Á́irne, trácht ar spéar-radharcaibh Locha Léin agus ná tire 'na thimhcheall'.
