5.0 out of 5 stars Poet, visionary, seer...Patrick Kavanagh, 6 Dec 2003
By A Customer
The bardic tradition lives on with prose such as this although in the english tongue. This piece of work gives us an insight into the haunting sense of the mysterious Irish way of life and to a poets outlook on life that is not seen too many times in ones own lifetime. This is one of the gems of Irish literature of the last 100 years of a man who was laughed at by certain parts of society while alive and who they erected a memorial to and sang praises to when he died. If you are interested in irish literature, buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling., 24 April 2002
By A Customer
Whether you are familiar with the work of Patrick Kavanagh or not, this is a truely wonderful book. In describing his life in rural Ireland, he paints a magical picture that leaves a lasting impression. Although a bitter-sweet tale, it offers the reader a fresh and encouraging perspective on life.
