Threads
Laurence McKeown
A powerful collection of poems from Laurence McKeown, written during and after his time as a political prisoner in Northern Ireland. They touch on themes of politics, family, comradeship, longing, desire, and love. McKeown's observations on life are at times humorous and at other times tragic, but always express hope and a belief in shared humanity. A must-read for anyone interested in personal and political struggles.

This is a great book by Laurence. His poetry is brilliant. One poem , Margaret, a revealing honest and moving tribute to his mother, is very special. Laurence survived 70 days on hungerstrike. If you like poetry you will love Threads. Maith thú Laurence. – source
