From the publisher

Enchanting verses that capture the essence of Irish life and nature.

Frank Ormsby's The Rain Barrel invites readers to see the world with fresh eyes, finding beauty in the mundane and wonder in the everyday. A local fire-god with a tongue of flowers, Ormsby masterfully blends folklore with reflections on art and life. His poems explore themes of nature, memory, and loss, resonating with those who appreciate lyrical verse and the unsentimental elegy.

This collection ties together these themes, meditating on objects and symbols, and reflecting on our roles in life. Perfect for poetry enthusiasts and those seeking a connection to Irish culture, The Rain Barrel offers a poignant journey through the landscapes of the heart and home.
