Peacekeeper
ISBN: 978-1-907682-46-9 | Pages: 80 | Published: 2016
The poems in Peacekeeper reveal the little known landscapes and events experienced by soldiers sent to keep the peace in highly volatile situations — experiences and events that stay part of his make-up long after his return: the natural and unnatural landscapes, camaraderie, fear, the spiritual¬ in the face of incoming artillery fire, the underground semi-light existence of bomb shelters, minefields, destroyed villages, mass-graves, ethnic cleansing, the missing and the pity towards the innocent victims — the pity of it all. The poems are written in language that is full of the imagery of conflict, accessible and immediate and intended for an audience that wishes to discover the Irish peacekeeper’s tour of duty in foreign warzones, the warzones that they bring home. It is the first of its kind to be published in Ireland about Irish soldiers.
