What do poets do in the lockdown?
Write poetry of course, or that’s what renowned Ballyfin poet, Dr Arthur Broomfield has been doing.
His latest work, Ireland Calling [Revival Press, Limerick] is a new departure for the best-selling author.
It digs deep into the Irish ballad tradition of telling yarns and bringing characters to life through language that sparkles with vitality.
“This book truly is poetry for the people,” says Dr Clare Bolger.
Maureen Culleton, world renowned leader in the promotion of Irish culture, has given the book her imprimatur, praise indeed from the founder of Sean Chistin.
