Review
Together, the poems is this wonderful collections mingle the poems of the famous, the infamous, and the unknown into a strikingly beautiful anthology. These poems span four centuries of romance, up to and including modern poets such as Sara Berkeley and 1995 Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney. Included are romantic favorites, passionate nationalists, Celtic heroes, and modern revivalists. Irish Love Poems captures the passion of being Irish and in love, be it the love of a woman or man, country or countryside, or the love of a freedom which seems perpetually elusive. Peadar McDaid, a Donegal artist, illustrates the collection with beautiful, traditionally Celtic, line drawings. Also featured is a ten page appendix of poet biographies. --Midwest Book Review

Great compilation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Irish Love Poems: Danta Gra (Hardcover)
A great collection of poems - my copy is well-worn. The editor has done a fantastic job of selecting the poems, and I would gladly read more of her work. I would love to meet her. I recommend this to anyone with an interest in poetry or Ireland.

A dash of all things Irish and (in-or-out of) love,
By discsid@rocketmail.com (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Irish Love Poems: Danta Gra (Hardcover)
Very nice compilation of Irish love poems... some heart-warming, some, ummm...., not. Sweet illustrations too. Has a poem by Seamus Heany, impressive for an independent book publishing house. I'd read more by that editor.

This review is from: Irish Love Poems: Danta Gra (Hardcover)
This is everything I was hoping for: Intelligent, passionate, intense and with good style. It made an excellent gift for my "beloved". She adores it (and me). :)
