Seumas MacManus (31 December 1867 - 23 October 1960) was an Irish author, dramatist, and poet known for his ability to reinterpret Irish folktales for modern audiences. Born James McManus in Mountcharles, County Donegal, he was the son of Patrick McManus, a merchant, and Mary Molloy. He became a teacher, and in the 1890s began contributing articles and stories to newspapers in the U.S. On 22 August 1901 he married the Antrim poet, balladeer and publisher Ethna Carbery, daughter of a Fenian and one of the founders of feminist nationalist organisation Inghinidhe na Éireann, and they moved in together in Revlin House in Donegal. Carbery died the following year of gastritis, aged 37. MacManus published her hugely successful work for many years after her death. On 9 March 1911 in Manhattan, New York, he married Catalina Violante Paez (died 1962), the granddaughter of a former Venezuelan president, General José Antonio Páez. The couple had two daughters: Mariquita Paez MacManus (1912-2011) and Patricia MacManus (1914-2005). MacManus died after falling from the seventh-floor window of the Mary Manning Walsh nursing home in New York City. He was 92. Seamus MacManus is considered by many to be the last great seanchaí, or storyteller of the ancient oral tradition. He wrote down and interpreted traditional stories so that they would not be lost to future generations. In one book he encourages the reader to read the stories aloud and to others. "These tales were made not for reading, but for telling. They were made and told for the passing of long nights, for the shortening of weary journeys, for entertaining of traveler-guests, for brightening of cabin hearths. Be not content with reading them. . . And grateful be to the shanachies who passed these tales to me, for you - Sean O'Hegarty, Mairghid Burns, Eoghain O'Cuinn, and the Bacach Ruadh. May God grant their souls rest." Archived recordings of MacManus reading his stories exist in Notre Dame and Seton Hall, and some of his books are available for download on the Internet Archive. Sarah Reisen (1885- 25 October 1975 New York City); her name is sometimes transliterated as Sora Reyzen or Raizin) was a Belarusian-American Yiddish poet and translator. She was born to Kalmen Reisen and Kreyne Epstein. Kalmen was a writer, as were her two brothers, Abraham and Zalmen. At home, she learned Torah portions from her father, Hebrew from the rabbi's wife, German from her mother, and Russian from her teacher. Her mother died when Reisen was ten, after which she briefly lived in Vinitze and Mohilne. At age 14 she moved to Minsk, where she worked as a seamstress and a Russian tutor, and continued her studies. Reisen got married in 1904 to writer David Kasel and had a son Moishe. This marriage ended in a divorce and after moving around for a few years, she immigrated to New York City in 1933. Her eisen's first work, a publication of a sketch in Russian as well as a translation of a work by I.L. Peretz was published when she was seventeen. She soon joined the Yiddish literary circle, writing sketches, short stories, and poems for various periodicals and publications such as Di Folkstzaytung, Der Veg, Der Fraynd, The Forward, Feder, and her brother's publication Eyropeyishe Literatur, sometimes under the pen name Sarah Kalmens. Reisen is one of a number of women poets writing in Yiddish, many of whom were Litvaks and whom Dovid Katz acknowledges for their contribution to the establishment of Yiddish as a respected language for producing literary material. Along with writing for publications, she wrote and performed for Yiddish Theater. Her translations into Yiddish include, among others, works by Tolstoy, Andreyev, Turgenev, and Pushkin. She is known for working on children's books and adapting works of Oscar Wilde for Yiddish schools.
