Description

Gas Light & Coke by Fergus Allen At 84, Fergus Allen reflects on a life that has spanned two continents and a career in the British civil service. This collection of poems, written over several decades, offers a unique glimpse into his experiences as an engineer, civil servant, and poet. Published sporadically throughout his life, these poems were largely overlooked until after his formal retirement, when he began writing more actively. The result is a collection that showcases Allen's wit, insight, and mastery of language. With 83 pages of poetry, Gas Light & Coke provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of Ireland's most accomplished poets.
