"Easter, 1916" and Other Poems

Sophie Shrimpton

Read for my audit of Modern Poetry (English 222).

I read through some poems last Monday before class, and Isabel read me a few over the weekend. The Balloon of the Mind has stuck in my mind due to its connection with my obsession with how our ideology and mind is shaped and confined by our environment. 

The political poetry was a standout, and I'd love to read it a bit more closely over summer (as well as some of his other work). I want to dig into the Irish Revolution.
