Poem of the Week S01 E31 : Birthing the Lamb, written and read by Jane Clarke.

Update: 2019-02-28

Description

Originally from a farm in Roscommon, Jane Clarke is an award winning poet who now lives in Glenmalure, Co. Wicklow. Jane’s poetry sings with a pastoral authenticity, a lyricisim and a deeply resonant maturity, so redolent of the Irish canon she has herself, in the words of Anne Enright, so seemlessly slipped into. Who better to join me then to greet the coming of spring? Jane was a wonderful guest and lovely woman to sit down and chat to!
