The Names upon the Harp by Marie Heaney
. . . There is Balor of the evil eye, whose very glance meant death; the wicked queen Aoife who turned children into swans; and Oisin, who followed his love to her city beneath the waves . . .

Lynch, and a previously unpublished poem by Seamus Heaney, this is a stunning collection to cherish forever.Marie Heaney was born in County Tyrone and began her teaching career in schools in Northern Ireland.
