Finding the best Munster poems for anthology

Gabriel Fitzmaurice describes the selection process for his book of favourite poems of Munster

WHEN Michael Brennan of Currach/Columba Press invited me to edit an anthology of favourite poems from the south of Ireland I immediately jumped to the opportunity.

For the ‘south of Ireland’ I suggested it would have to be the six counties of Munster and the book would include poets born, or brought up, in Munster.
