Full Emmersion

Ireland in Poetry is full of lush paintings, photographs and drawings by Irish artists (both new and old). These include striking photos of Ireland today, oil paintings by Jack Yeats, historic photos now in the National Library and many other works of art. Almost every page has an illustration and the space that is not occupied by illustrations are full of poetry, and oh what poetry it is! There are wonderful works from famous scribes, such as Yeats, Heaney, Burns, Kipling, and Joyce, as well as magical moments from less well known Chuilleanain, Donnelly, Hewitt.The book is divided into four parts: 1) The country of Ireland, 2)The history of Ireland, 3) The people of Ireland, and 4) The future of Ireland.Well worth finding - It will soak your senses!
