Description
Sigerson Clifford's Ballads of a Bogman is set against the stunning mountain backdrop of Dingle Bay and the Laune to Inney. The poet has a deep affection for the valleys and mountains of Kerry, capturing their beauty with a rare sense of intimacy. In these charming ballads, Clifford takes the reader on a journey through the dew-wet grass of sloping fields and into the cosy pubs that nestle in the hills. His verses are wistful and gay, recalling the comings and goings of a people whose homes are nestled between the bog and the lighthouse. Clifford's gift for ballad poetry shines through in his use of language, with its tricks and turns of speech that add to the collection's charm.
