Publisher's Synopsis
A long-awaited collection of superb essays moving between Ireland and the Balkans, often considering parallels between Belfast and Sarajevo in such well-known work as "A Week in Sarajevo", "Weather Report: Good Friday Week, 1998", "Troubled Belfast", "A Day with the VJ", "The Ethnic Basis of Irish Poetry" and "The View from the Lagan". An immigrant and distinguished poet, Agee brings a unique perspective to life in Ireland and the Balkans with their communal and sectarian histories.
