Product Description
O'Brien Press, 1988 - Pat Ingoldsby's Salty Water, his 5th published collection of poems for adults ( he had also published a number of children's collections, and had worked as a TV presenter on RTE before that ( and his anarchic and very funny deadpan poetry was a first introduction that many Irish children of that generation had to poetry - POEMS THAT DIDN'T ALWAYS RHYME!)
This is a mix of darkness, humanity, observations and humour, with thoughts on life throughout, some poems are short, sometimes reading like stray thoughts, sometimes tightly constructed and always interesting.
Pat used to sell books on Westmoreland Street in Dublin for many years, in any other country he'd be acclaimed like the national treasure he was.
