"This is a collection of poems, old and modern, by an assortment of Irish, Scottish and Welsh poets. Many of the poems describe earlier culture and politcal concerns and many deal with love of the homeland. Some are by well-known poets and some are by authors who have long faded into obscurity. Together they represent a fascinating fabric of a rich culture."--Container
