The Lammas Hireling

Description

Ian Duhig has long inspired a fervent and devoted following. With The Lammas Hireling – the title poem having already won both the National Poetry Competition and the Forward Prize for Best Poem – Duhig has produced his most accessible and exciting volume to date, and looks set to reach a whole new audience. A poet of lightning wit and great erudition, Duhig is also a master balladeer and storyteller who shows that poetry is still the most powerful way in which our social history – our lives, loves and work – can be celebrated and commemorated.
