- Summary:
- "Violent historical and cultural forces shaped the lives of Julie Kane's Irish and Irish-American women ancestors: famine, genocide, warfare, poverty, emigration, repressive religion, ethnic prejudice, and alcoholism. In Mothers of Ireland, her new collection of poems, Kane explores how the legacy of personal trauma gets passed down to subsequent generations, with a focus on mothers and daughters and their histories of pain and endurance. Even at their very darkest, however, these haunting poems flash with resilient Irish wit"-- Provided by publisher.
