Forest Music

Personal encounters with the landscape are central to this collection, as Susan Connolly explores her surroundings in Drogheda and the Boyne Valley. The poems celebrate notable archaeological sites like Knowth, Dowth, and Newgrange, while also highlighting local landmarks such as the Maiden Tower and the Baltray seawall. A unique discovery of a cobbled garden from the early nineteenth century adds depth to her reflections on place and history. Connolly's work intertwines personal experience with the rich heritage of her environment.
