Product Description
by Pat Boran (Author)
Hedge School is Irish poet Pat Boran's 8th collection of poems, finding inspiration and consolation in the local and near-at-hand, in the examples of our neighbours (human and creaturely), in the roots and shoots of what turns out to be a vibrant global network. Against a backdrop of climate concern and increasing international unrest, Hedge School responds to the subjects of home and homelessness, belonging and welcome, knowledge and discovery, putting its faith in connection and communication, and trusting in small but robust forms to stand against the chill winds of our troubled and troubling times.
"A writer of great tenderness and lyricism" - Agenda, UK
"... local and international, personal and scientific, full of wisdom and wry humor ..." - Irish Literary Supplement, USA
