Wolfhound Book of Irish Poems for Young People

The poet's eye is like a child's eye. It has clarity, freshness and accuracy.

Poetry opens our minds to the world about us-as we look at ordinary things we discover that they are extraordinary. We are invited to think and wonder about places, legends, history and-above all-people of every kind.

Irish poetry has long been celebrated, and here, in Irish Poems for Young People, is a rich collection of Irish verse. Farmers, scholars, housewives, tradesman and many others all have their say in this carefully selected anthology of ancient and contemporary poems.
