- A great introduction to Irish poetry
Poetry with a beautiful, intelligent reading. And accompanied by useful short commentary.
One of those little things that adds so much.

There is nothing quite like hearing a lovely poem read by a beautiful voice. Declan Walsh lures you in to a delightful experience. I love the little bits of history and the thoughtful addition of links to songs. I look forward to more episodes.

Apple Podcasts5GD USAUnited States5 years ago - Time for Reflection
A lovely short podcast that has opened my mind to a lost love. I always enjoyed poetry but for some reason it never fitted into my life, these short and interesting podcasts have opened up poetry to me again. In a time full of sad and depressing news it’s a lovely escape. Declan has a lovely warm voice and has an integrity in his reciting. He opens up the Poet and the poem and allows the listener to personally reflect on what the poem is saying to them.
