In this work, we are offered an insight as to what inspired him to write these poems and the result is a deeply personal part-memoir, part-poetry collection that will be treasured by readers of Kinsella for years to come.

This high-quality hardback volume is filled with beautiful and imaginative photographs of Dublin landmarks such as St. James's Gate, Dublin Castle and the Peppercannister Church.

Twenty of his best-loved and memorable poems, including His Father's Hands and St. Catherine's Clock have new commentaries written by Thomas Kinsella. An introduction, also written by him, serves to introduce the reader to his relationship, and that of his family and friends with the city of Dublin.

'An illuminating commentary'

'Dubliners and poetry fans alike will love Thomas Kinsella's personal collection of poetry, reminiscence and photography.'

'one of the major poets of his generation . . . I certainly enjoyed it.' Páraic Breathnach
