Dublin's Other Poetry: Rhymes and Songs of the City

Dublin's writers rarely remain solemn for long: their wicked sense of humor has traveled the world. This is an irresistible new anthology of what used to be called `comic and curious verse' about the city, written by some of her most entertaining poets and songwriters. Whether the lines are satirical, sentimental, subversive, sexy or just plain silly, each poem comes with background information about where it originated, and each page is illuminated by Hector McDonnell's wonderful, witty drawings.
