    About this ebook

    The poetry of Eleanor Pauline Dunne takes the reader across Ireland in a time machine, journeying back and forth from the twenty-first century to the span of decades of the twentieth century, and to the seventeenth century and beyond. She conjures up a world of wonderat times with whimsy, at times with great wisdom and poignancy. From the Dublin of Jonathan Swift to the landscapes of Cork, Eleanor Pauline Dunne creates a personal vision of times past, inviting the reader live in and reflect on these worlds. A joy for any would-be time traveller with an interest in the Emerald Isle!

    Eleanor Pauline Dunne

    Eleanor Pauline Dunne (nee Cosgrove) was born in Whitegate, County Cork, in the early decades of the twentieth Century, with many summers spent with her relations, the Givens in the Glen of Aherlow in County Tipperary. Moving to Dublin at the age of eighteen, she only began to write poetry in the late 1990s, after having reared six children. Her poetry has been published in the Irish national newspapers, she has performed radio recitals of her work, and her poetry was included in the Pushkin Prizes Trust anthology of 1993–2001.
