Title: Tin drum country
Description: In this collection Sabine Wichert subtly roots her adopted town of Belfast into her own background: her inheritance of "The burning cities of Europe." The poems span a lifetime of family, friends, and her own girlhood formed by the turmoil of 20th Century Europe. The image of rootedness is also present in her relationship to the Irish countryside: "Some to rescue only these roots."
Subjects: Poetry (poetic works by one author), English poetry, Irish authors, Poetry
