Francis Ledwidge by Francis Ledwidge
This selection of Francis Ledwidges poems, edited by Dermot Bolger, celebrates a remarkably gifted poet who, one hundred years after his tragic death in Ypres, is perhaps best known for the poetic brilliance of much of his work as well as the circumstances of his death.
Born in Slane, County Meath, in 1887, Ledwidge endured a childhood of poverty before leaving school at fourteen to work as a farm labourer, copper miner, road worker and union organiser. Throughout this time he produced an extraordinary body of exquisite lyric poetry.
