Here's a link to my poem,
and here's a ridiculously short list of some wonderful Irish/Irishy books:
THE GREEN FOOL by Patrick Kavanagh
ARE YOU SOMEBODY? by Nuala O'Faolain
(and all of her other books)
BY THE LAKE by John McGahern
ROUND IRELAND WITH A FRIDGE by Tony Hawks
O'CLOCK by Fanny Howe
NO LONGER AT EASE by Chinua Achebe (see scene with mouthy Irish nurses and Nigerians)
