Rita Ann Higgins’ poetry became a national salve during the pandemic, uniquely capturing the mood of the country as read live from RTÉ’s Brendan O’Connor radio show.
This collection of poetry, containing the bank holidays poems heard on the show and many others, sets a tone for all seasons.
From bank holidays to saints’ days and many other annual celebrations on the Irish calendar year, they are at times uplifting, at times nostalgic, always reflective of real life.
With poems such as Lúnasa, I Thought Saw St. Brigit Today, My Mother Loved Me in Red, The Púca, Visiting My Father on Christmas Day and All Souls Day, The Long Weekend leaves no question that Rita Ann Higgins is the people’s poet.
