Windfall - Irish Nature Poems to Inspire and Connect

When regular words just won't do it sometimes the best way to connect is through poetry, and that's exactly what this lovingly assembled book of Irish poems about nature seeks to do.  Windfall: Irish Nature Poems to Inspire and Connect is a portrait of a beautiful landscape of plants, animals, and habitats. Illustrated throughout by Jane Carkill, each poem is chosen for its attention to nature while reflecting on the loves and losses of our everyday lives. 

Made by Award-winning poet Jane Clarke, this selection includes some of our best-known poets, including Seamus Heaney, Eavan Boland, Michael Longley, Paula Meehan, Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill, and Joseph O'Connor.

Poetry is where we tend to turn for added meaning, at weddings, funerals, christenings and other significant events. Contained in these pages are poems to make us laugh and cry, to help us celebrate and grieve; poems to put words on what can seem inexpressible as we connect to the other living beings with which we share this island. It's a lovely gift for anyone going through a life change.
