Although sonnets had long been written in English by poets of Irish heritage such as [[Sir Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Baronet|Sir Aubrey de Vere]], [[Oscar Wilde]], [[William Butler Yeats]], [[Tom Kettle]], and [[Patrick Kavanagh]], the sonnet form failed to enter [[Irish poetry]] in the [[Irish language]]. This changed, however, during the [[Gaelic revival]] when Dublin-born [[Liam Gógan]] (1891–1979) was dismissed from his post in the [[National Museum of Ireland]] and imprisoned at [[Frongoch internment camp]] following the [[Easter Rising]]. There he became the first poet to write sonnets in the Irish language.<ref>''Leabhar na hAthghabhála, Poems of Repossession'', ed. by [[Louis de Paor]] (Bloodaxe Books), p. 40.</ref>

In 2009, poet [[Muiris Sionóid]] published a complete translation of [[William Shakespeare]]'s [[Shakespeare's sonnets|154 sonnets]] into Irish under the title ''Rotha Mór an Ghrá'' ("The Great Wheel of Love").<ref name="irishpost.com">{{cite news|url=https://www.irishpost.com/life-style/shakespeares-work-translated-irish-sounds-amazing-151497 |title=Shakespeare's work has been translated into Irish – and it sounds amazing|first=Fiona |last=Audley|newspaper=[[The Irish Post]]|date=14 March 2018}}</ref> In an article about his translations, Sionóid wrote that Irish poetic forms are completely different from those of other languages and that both the sonnet form and the [[iambic pentameter]] line had long been considered "entirely unsuitable" for composing poetry in Irish. In his translations, Soinóid chose to closely reproduce Shakespeare's rhyme scheme and rhythms while rendering into Irish.<ref> Sionóid, Muiris, [https://www.shakespeare.org.uk/explore-shakespeare/blogs/aistriú-na-soinéad-go-gaeilge-saothar-grá-translating-sonnets-irish-labour-love/ "Aistriú na Soinéad go Gaeilge: Saothar Grá!

According to [[Jan Morris]], "When Welsh poets speak of [[Free Verse]], they mean forms like the sonnet or the ode, which obey the same rules as [[English language|English]] [[Metre (poetry)|poesy]]. [[Cerdd dafod|Strict Metre]]s verse still honours the [[Cynghanedd|complex rules]] laid down for correct poetic composition 600 years ago."<ref>Morris, Jan (1984), ''The Matter of Wales: Epic Views of a Small Country'', [[Oxford University Press]], p. 152.</ref> Nevertheless, several of the greatest recent [[Welsh language]] poets have also written sonnets, including [[Welsh nationalism|Welsh nationalist]] and [[Traditionalist Catholic]] poet [[Saunders Lewis]]<ref>Translated by Joseph P. Clancy (1993), ''Saunders Lewis: Selected Poems'', [[University of Wales]] Press, pp. ix-x.</ref> and [[Far-left]] poet [[Thomas Evan Nicholas]].<ref>[https://www.library.wales/discover/digital-gallery/manuscripts/modern-period/t-e-nicholas#?c=&m=&s=&cv=&xywh=-63%2C-1635%2C2973%2C5728 ''Canu'r carchar'': ''The Prison Sonnets of T.
