Om bidragsyterne
Gabriel Fitzmaurice was born in 1952 in the village of Moyvane, Co. Kerry, where he still lives. He retired as principal of the local national school at the end of 2007. He is the author of more than thirty books: including the poetry collections, The Boghole Boys and I and the Village, his translations Poems from the Irish and the autobiographies of Maidhc Dainin O Se (House Don't Fall on Me) and Bernie Long (Ventry Calling) and he has edited several collections of essays including Come All Good Men and True on the works of John B. Keane. His children's poetry collection includes I'm Proud to be Me and Really Rotten Rhymes.
According to "The Guardian" 'Fitzmaurice is a wonderful poet'. He has been called 'poetry's answer to John B. Keane' ("Books Ireland") and his poems have been described as 'comparable to Burns for their insights and lyricism' ("The Irish Times"). Fitzmaurice is well known throughout Ireland for his penetrating observations, his humour, simplicity and the pure beauty of his work. This collection includes poems from Fitzmaurice's adult collections and translations.
