FEATURING TWO POEMS BY ANNE CASEY:
“There is a special brand of human misery so steeped in hopelessness that it leaves its mark in time and place.”
Read 'The Lock Up' feature article by Anne Casey in The Irish Times
“Until the sunshine and the hustle
Had worn it threadbare
This extra bit of baggage
In every emigrant’s case...”
“Read this for its beautiful,
heartrending poetry about
emigration
and bereavement.”

The Irish Times
