A Rain Ancestral: Poems
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars

About this ebook
Poems written from the inside-out and the outside-in of the Old Country. An old country of not only quiet County Down pubs and gritty Belfast streets but also of childhood singsongs and snippets of last night's office dream. Fiddles and flutes, pipes and pints, liquor and loose-lipped language. Bone-and-blood ballads in formal and free verse.
