Together these poems mingle the famous, the infamous, and the unknown into a beautiful and striking anthology. Fraught simultaneously with both violence and love, this work spans four centuries of romance, up-to and including the most modern of poets such as Sara Berkeley and 1995 Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney. It includes romantic favorites, passionate nationalists, Celtic heroes, and modern revivalists. For some of these authors, it is their first appearance in a U.S. anthology. This welcome collection captures the passion of being Irish and in love, be it the love of a woman or man, country or countryside, or the love of a freedom which seems perpetually elusive.
