Description

If there's a drop of Irish blood running through your arteries this book was written for you, for your heart not for your bookshelf, for Arthur Broomfield's beautifully composed poems are written from the heart.

You will be drawn into a magical journey through stories of Ireland, many of them lost to present generations of its people and of its characters, told in the language and rhythms of the Irish tradition of the ballad.

The cunning genius of the publican Phonsie Joe; the irascible knight of the road 'The Man from Cappawhite' and the death of Aine from the Spanish flu in 'The Saddest Story' will make you laugh, cry and think.

If these poems tug at your heartstrings that's as it should be, for they are part of what you are, what it means to be Irish.
