He wrote under the Gaelicised version of his name Seosamh Mac Cathmhaoil (also Seosamh MacCathmhaoil).

There he lived in New York, lecturing at Fordham University, and worked in academic Irish studies, founding the University's School of Irish Studies in 1928. He returned to Ireland in 1939. He is now remembered best for words he supplied to traditional airs, such as My Lagan Love and Gartan Mother's Lullaby.

Campbell, Joseph (1879-1944), poet and republican, was born 15 July 1879 at Loreto Cottage, Castlereagh Road, Belfast, seventh among ten children of William Henry Campbell (1842-1900), road-building contractor, and Catherine Campbell (née Canmer; d. 1918) of Belfast. From his father, a catholic and a Parnellite, he imbibed fervent nationalist politics, and from his mother, of mixed catholic-presbyterian stock, a strong interest in Gaelic culture. He spent much of his youth on his paternal grandfather's farm at Florrybridge, south Co. Armagh, where he developed a love of nature and local folklore. Educated at St Matthew's national school and at St Malachy's College, Belfast, where he excelled as a student, he left school in 1895 and was apprenticed to his father. A sensitive, moody, and solitary boy, in 1895 he succumbed to a nervous illness that lasted three years and limited his ability to work, but allowed him time to read widely. After his father died in 1900, Joseph took over the family business. His nationalist leanings were encouraged by the 1798 centenary celebrations and the Boer war (1899-1902). Around 1900 he joined the Gaelic League, used the Irish form of his name, â Seosamh MacCathmaoil', and became a fluent Irish-speaker. He became a member of the informal â Firelight club' that regularly met at Ardrigh, the home of F. J. Bigger . and contributed poems regularly to Arthur Griffith's (United Irishman and Standish O'Grady's (All Ireland Review. Steeped in Ulster folklore and proud of the north's radical and dissenting tradition, he loved its robust vernacular and believed that its racial and linguistic differences had created a rich and resilient culture; his own work draws heavily on both Gaelic legend and Scottish folk-tale. Soon after the publication of his first volume of verse, The garden of the bees (1904), he moved to Dublin, where he obtained work as a clerk . Earth of Cualann (1917) was inspired by the landscape of north-east Co. Wicklow: its pared-down pieces show strong Imagist influences such as the use of free verse (he had known Ezra Pound and T. E. Hulme in London). However, Campbell acknowledged a greater debt to Walt Whitman and William Blake, the two poets he most admired. He also admired the poetry of W. B. Yeats, but regarded him personally as â a poltroon'. Caught up in the political excitement of these years, Campbell was a founding member of the Irish Volunteers in Dublin. He engaged in reconnaissance during the 1916 rising, after which he sheltered Desmond FitzGerald, and his home was raided. In 1917 he joined Sinn Féin and assisted in several of their election campaigns (1917-20). A member of the republican district court for east Wicklow (1918-20) and vice-chairman of Wicklow county council (1920-21), he earned considerable unpopularity for attacking nepotism in the county council, and resigned 25 June 1921.Strongly opposed to the treaty, particularly its acceptance of partition, he assisted the republicans in north Wicklow in the civil war and was arrested by Free State troops in Bray on 7 July 1922 and imprisoned in Mountjoy. . During a hunger strike by the prisoners to secure their release, Campbell went ten days without food (19-28 October 1923). Released 23 December 1923, he was hardened and embittered, his religious faith shattered by the catholic church's condemnations of the anti-treatyites. . He cherished an abstract ideal of Ireland but bemoaned its censorship laws, materialism, and cultural stagnation, and denounced the national schools for turning out â appalling types-tittering, cigarette-smoking girls and uncouth boys' . He died from heart disease 5 June 1944 at Lackandaragh. Roibeárd Ó Faracháin recalled him as â a simple man, with both kinds of simplicity: the kind which over-simplifies, and the kind that never complicates. (From Dictionary of Irish Biography).

Hardcover. Condition: Good Plus. Seosamh MacCathmhaoil (Joseph Campbell) (illustrator). First Edition. Octavo. 8 1/2 in. x 7 in. Cream cartridge paper between blue paper covers. Title labels pasted on to front boards and spine. Boards rubbed and darkened. Pale blue endpapers. Sixteen pencil drawings (approximately 5 1/2 in. x 4 1/2 in.) by the author. Some called the illustrations "somber"; MacCathmhaoil speaks to that (see below). Joseph Campbell (1879-1944), who wrote under the Gaelic form of his name Seosamh Mac Cathmhaoil, was a poet, playwright, folklorist and political activist ".With regard to the pictures illustrating the book, several people who have seen them in the original have criticised their darkness, as if they were all drawn 'in twilight and eclipse'. But the darkness of Donegal was the first thing that struck me when I crossed the frontier at Lifford, and the forty miles' journey through the hills to Ardara bit the impression still more deeply into me. And if I were asked now after a year's exile what I remember most vividly of the country, I should say its gloom. I can see nothing but a wilderness of black hills, with black shadows chasing one another over them, a gleam of water here and there, and just the tiniest little patch of sunlight -- extraordinarily brilliant by contrast with the general darkness -- on half a field, say, with its mearing-stones, to relieve the sense of tragedy that one feels on looking at the landscape." (pp. 1-2).
