The
Poolbeg Book of Irish Poetry For Children
Is the only book of exclusively Irish poetry for children readily available
in the UK. It is in three sections, ANCIENT POETRY, POETRY FROM THE GREAT
POETS OF THE PAST, PRESENT DAY POETS.
In my introduction I pose the question, has there been any Irish poetry
written directly for children and/or is there poetry which might be deemed
- at second best - suitable for children. There are some wonderful poems
for children in the canon of English poetry, I just wanted to find out
if the same could be true of Irish poetry or not. The answer is YES! Buy
it and see! ISBN 1 85371 726 6
