Book description
One hundred and forty-four poems were selected by the editor from
the two hundred or so displayed on DART carriages between 1987 and
1994: short enough for passengers to read without missing their stops,
resonant enough to inspire reflection, disquietude or delight. Three
were written especially for Dublin's train travellers. and about half
of them are by Irish poets. Featuring poetry by Yeats, Dickinson,
Larkin, Eliot, Synge, Auden, Heaney, Beckett, Blake, Frost, Muldoon,
Shakespeare, Hardy, Montague, Wilde, Joyce, Milton, Coleridge, e. e.
cummings, Tennyson, Rossetti, Flann O'Brien, Longley, the Bronte
sisters, and many more.
