We all have dreams, loves and hopes; but what if you are a girl growing up in 20th century Northern Ireland before, during and after the ‘Troubles’?
From the poetic thoughts of Agnes Mae Graham, we get a sense of what it was like, ranging from humour, sadness, wistful thinking and sometimes just downright nonsensical, these are the words of one such girl.

Lovely, wonderful poems. My favorite is Rosie and Willie. Hard to say, maybe she didn’t want to marry him, but by the white of her hands she wasn’t fibbing. Love it. 🙂
