Innti

Innti was a literary movement of poets writing Modern literature in Irish, associated with a literary journal of the same name founded in 1970 by Michael Davitt, Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Gabriel Rosenstock, Liam Ó Muirthile, later joined by Louis de Paor. These writers were students of University College Cork, drawing inspiration from Seán Ó Ríordáin and Seán Ó Riada, as well as American influences such as the Beat movement and the counterculture of the 1960s. Their reception was mixed, with literary traditionalists resenting their urbanism, social liberalism and "foreign" Anglo-American influences.
