poems that I delighted in this time around
“Twice Shy� - stillness, youth
“Personal Helicon� - sweet memories <3
“The Peninsula� - wonderful wonderful poem, reality as it is
“Night Drive� - the marvelous ordinary
“Wedding Day� - bittersweet loss
“Mossbawn: Two Poems in Dedication, I. Sunlight� - nostalgia
“The Harvest Bow� - unspokenness of love, love in action
“Glanmore Revisited: VII The Skylight� - the ordinary as marvelous
“PDzٲ�
“The Clothes Shrine� - ordinary, mundane beauty

such a precious precious man <3

1st read
wow he's brilliant!
did not enjoy his poems about Ireland as much but I think that is mostly on account of my ignorance of all the Irish lingo! also, even though I didn't understand many of his poems about Ireland, they still made me almost homesick for the country (obviously not my home, I know) and left me wanting to go back and appreciate it more because listen! I'm not your typical Irish hype woman like every other American and their mother (and brother!!). So yeah who knows, Seamus might bring me to the other side ¯\_(�)_/¯
my favorite poems from this collection:
Digging
Scaffolding
The cure at Troy (love x2)
St kevin and the blackbird
Postscript
Chanson d'Aventure
Miracle (love x2)
