Inhaltsangabe

This eclectic collection of poetry is a personal journey for both authors. Enjoy their memories of a childhood spent in Bunduff, near Cliffoney, North Sligo. Read about their family, friends, and neighbours and the place in which they grew up and lived. The poetry then moves on to events from the area, as well as events that shook the world, including “The Armada Shipwreck at Streedagh”, “The Moneygold Ambush,” “Farewell to Louis” – about the Bombing of the Shadow V in Mullaghmore in 1979, “I saw the Poppies Bleed” – relating the story of the Enniskillen Poppy Day bomb, and many more. Social comment poems like “Angels of Tuam”, “The Dark Path” and “Reach Out” are very thought-provoking. Poems relating to spiritual matters, poems from abroad, and poetry relating to the Covid 19 pandemic complete this collection. This book will be of interest to a general audience, not just people from or living in Sligo.
