Love it! Just like a hip flask from which you take short, swift swigs from, this is exactly what I did with this book. In little quiet moments or just before bed, I dipped into it to read one or several pieces from Ireland's best loved poets. This book would be great for those new to poetry and just want something to dip into and for those seasoned readers....well it's always good to carry a flask for when the weather is cold!
