Precisely what it says on the tin: a collection of love poems by Irish authors. Some of them are famous--Yeats and Joyce are both represented here. Some of them are so old that their authors are unknown, and others were written much more recently. Some of them are ballads, some of them are expressive; some chaste, and some blush-worthy. Most of the poems are wonderful, although there are a few which aren’t quite as good as the rest. On the whole, though, definitely worth a read.
