Poems, Postcards and Place

 

Listen to two poems by Patrick Kavanagh that inspired me to write about a place I know well, followed by suggestions for using postcards to display your own poem.

The poems by Patrick Kavanagh that I read in the video are in Kavanagh Country , edited by PJ Browne, photographs by David Maher. Dublin, Currach Press, 2015. ISBN 9781782188544.

My own poem, News from the County is published in Taking the Plunge, edited by Vanessa Fox O’Loughlin. Dublin, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, 2014. ISBN 9781909483583.
