Séamus Mac An Iomaire (1891–1967) was an Irish botanist and writer.

Biography

Mac an Iomaire was born at Muighinis in Connemara on 13 January 1891. During 1919–1926, he had a number of stories, essays, songs and lists of terms and proverbs published in the Galway journal An Stoc, edited by Professor Tomás Ó Máille, before emigrating to New York City in the latter year. In New York he taught classes in Irish for the Gaelic Society, and while recovering from tuberculosis in 1927, he wrote Cladaigh Chonamara, which was published in 1938.

In 1966, he presented a number of his manuscripts to the Irish Folklore Commission, and completed his final work, Connemara Man, before his death on 15 November 1967.
