One of my favorite anthologies! Hewitt's introduction is dense but accessible for those unfamiliar, and it is well worth spending time in the glossary becoming familiar with Ulster-Scots vernacular to fully enjoy the small collection after Hewitt's study. This is regional writing in the purest form, you will seldom find authors that so wonderfully capture the character of their experience as these poets do.
