Drawing on her childhood in the Burren’s limestone valleys and the rich storytelling tradition passed down through her family, O’Donohoe invites readers to walk beside her through landscapes where history, mythology, and lived memory intertwine. Her poems move with the rhythm of the seasons, capturing the joys and hardships of farm life, the rituals of community, and the profound connection between people and place.
From the heart of the Burren, Miriam O' Donohoe's poetry is likewise truly from the heart, gently evoking rural scenes, characters and moments that will resonate with many. Brendan Dunford, founder of Burrenbeo Trust/Burren Farming for conservation programme.
