About this book
Charles Welsh’s anthology gathers Irish songs and lyric poems for readers looking for a broad sample of the country’s verse, from older material to work by poets identified in the collection. At Fontenoy, a martial poem recounts the Allies’ failed assaults and notes the Irish Brigade’s part on the French side. Elsewhere, a suitor pleads with Maureen in colloquial speech, while a speaker far from the coast hears the sea in the city and longs to return.
