The Great War in Irish Poetry Yeats to Longley This text explores the impact of World War I on the work of W.B. Yeats, Robert Graves, and Louis MacNeice in the period 1914-45, and on three contemporary Northern Irish poets, Derek Mahon, Seamus Heaney, and Michael Longley.

Caravan by Ethna McKiernan I have her first book - "Caravan." Many of the pages are dog-eared, the favorites clearly marked by the accidental ring of a wine glass put down, while leaning back to savor the pure delight of whimsies such as "Dancing the Boys Into Bed." - Bridget Haggerty Click for Caravan	The One Who Swears You Can't Start Over by Ethna McKiernan I have known Ethna for some years. As the co-publisher of my book, we first met at a Chicago book fair. What I could not have anticipated was meeting a woman with a gift for words that can move me to tears; to laughter; to joy in reading and re-reading the well-turned phrase. And, inevitably, to envying the skill. See Review Click here for Start Over.	The Ballad of Reading Gaol & Other Poems by Oscar Wilde You may think you already have Oscar's Poetry - somewhere (I did).
