@unitedfalI @ergodos This is gorgeous

@NiChurr @AbbeyTheatre @Doirepress @_northwestwords @poetryireland @Emily_S_Cooper @MaynoothEnglish This is amazing!

Madge Herron, born 1915 in the Donegal Gaeltacht, worked for @AbbeyTheatre & BBC, later becoming well-known in London. Her poems are utterly fascinating & haunted by a distinct Donegal sensibility. @Doirepress @_northwestwords @poetryireland @Emily_S_Cooper @MaynoothEnglish
