Ulster's Other Poetry proves that the people of Ulster have never been humorless or dour. Far from it. With its sparkling variety of rhymes, songs, and humorous poems from every tradition of the province, the book demonstrates that those who dwell in the northern quarter of Ireland have their own unique take on the strange ways of the world, coupled with a whole-hearted appreciation of good fun. Each poem comes with background information about its origins, and each page is illuminated by Hector McDonnell's wonderful, witty drawings.
