John Mulholland: A Poem Close To His Heart

October 05, 2016

My family and the Heaney family have been neighbours for many many years, and have had the pleasure of being named in a few of his poems but what stands out is the poem he wrote about my uncle Michael's wake. He published it in Human Chain, writing about how it was his first wake and the strange rituals that happen at a wake in 50's Ireland - a poem which our family hold close to their hearts.
