Joseph Mary Plunkett and the Gifford Girl
A Love Story for the Ages
A hero and a soldier, too, they buried him in lime.
Upon his wedding-morn they slew, a lover in his prime.
Into a burning ditch they threw, a poet and his rhyme.

The almost unbearable beauty of the love story of Joseph and Grace which encompasses not only their own love for each other, but also their love of God and of Ireland, has fascinated me for many years. The story of that love is told most succinctly and beautifully in the poem by Father Feeney at the beginning of this book. But there is much more to the story than that.

Plunge yourself into the beauty and mysticism of the poems of Joseph Plunkett, the Military Commander of the Easter Rising and youngest signatory of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic who stood with Pearse, McDonagh, and Connolly as they cast their fates upon the cause of freedom for Ireland.

A famous priest once said that other than those committed to the life of religion, the two types of persons most likely to save their souls were poets and soldiers. Joseph Mary Plunkett was both.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit too much like a pamphlet
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021

First let me say that this review is for this specific edition, not Plunkett's poems, which are sublime.

The good: this edition is on decent quality paper and fairly complete. The bad: the binding is just paper folded over with staples, not a book binding at all.

The poems of Joseph Mary Plunkett deserve more than 5 stars. But this book is not really a book. It's just some xeroxed pages stapled together. The publisher is disgraceful to print Plunkett's poems in such a low quality.

I wish I'd read 'jhsny's' review before I bought this book. A bunch of photocopied pages from a library book thrown together to make it. It's ridiculous and I'm very disappointed.
