description: Agnes Walsh's modern poetry classic as it was meant to be experienced. In the old country of my heart by Agnes Walsh was originally published in book form by Killick Press, an imprint of Creative Publishers, in 1996. Now in its second printing, it has developed a keen following among Newfoundland writers. In this recording the poems are interspersed with two unaccompanied ballads sung by Simone Savard-Walsh and the pump organ music of George Morgan. Agnes Walsh, who has also worked as an actor and founded a theatre troupe on Newfoundland's Cape Shore, is an example of that rare thing, a poet who not only writes well but also reads their work beautifully.
