Synopsis
A stirring collection of poems about exile, homeland, and the broad Irish landscape, voiced with memory and longing.
Emily Lawless’s Voices of the Wild Geese gathers poems that move between distant battlefields, quiet coastlines, and the stubborn beauty of Ireland. The verses speak of exiled hearts, worn by travel and time, yet drawn home by memory, place, and pride. The book blends historical moments with personal feeling, inviting readers to sense the land as both battleground and beacon.
Across its pages, readers will encounter scenes of sieges and shorelines, banners and graves, and the enduring call of Clare, Fontenoy, Cremona, and Aran Isles. The poems balance sorrow with resilience, offering a voice for those who loved their homeland enough to endure distance and change.
- Poignant explorations of exile, identity, and belonging
- Vivid portraits of Irish places and historical moments
- Rich, lyrical language that blends personal memory with public history
Ideal for readers drawn to lyric poetry about homeland, memory, and national history.

Présentation de l'éditeur
English readers to whom I rish History is an unknown wilderness. From this point of view a preface may be of some use to a better understanding of the poems. The Wild Geese was the name given by the romantic and sorrowful imagination of the I rish to the exiles who, like the wild birds and with their wailing cry, migrated to the Continent before and after the Battle of A ughrim, and the Surrender of Limerick in 1691. The I rish officers and soldiers were permitted by the Treaty of Limerick to go where they pleased in ships provided by the English Government. Twenty thousand sorrowing men, and Sarsfield among them, sailed to Brest, and formed the bulk of that I rish Brigade in the Netherlands whose warrior-work was so far-famed. They were only the forerunners of a great exodus of Irishmen flying from the iniquities of the penal laws to give their swords to France, an exodus which lasted fully a hundred years.
