Poems & Parodies

by Tom Kettle

This collection of poems and parodies by Tom Kettle, an Irish economist, journalist, barrister, poet, soldier, and Home Rule politician, showcases the breadth of his talents and the humor that infused his work. Published shortly after his death on the Western Front in World War I, the book captures Kettle's poignant perspective on the conflict, the complexities of Irish politics, and the lighter side of life. Kettle's poems often reflect his deep understanding of his time and his nation's struggles, while his parodies demonstrate his sharp wit and ability to find humor in even the most serious situations.
