Walking around Baile Mhúirne in our first few days during the residency, we were struck by the powerful opposing presences of Gobnait and of the Súlán.
The Súlán, the only masculine river in the country, carries with it a fatalistic curse

It's said it claims a life every seven years. On a bridge, on the walk to Gobnait's Well, is a stone plinth that reads "mise an Súlán, fuar, fada, fireann. Anois an t-am, cá bhfuil an duine?" "I am the Sullane, cold long and masculine. Now is the time, where is the person?" 
Eerie. Gobnait, in contrast, is a healing, forgiving presence.
I wanted to write something around generational guilt & shame, the kind inherited by many Irish people. In Crónán Na mBeach, co-written by @Hannahpianah, a girl wakes from a nightmare where the Súlán called to her.
