What a treat! Having met Jim at his home in Kilkenny some years ago, I have been looking forward to this. It's worth listening to for his wonderful accent alone. But there's much more here than a fine brogue. Jim's sense of humour is quirky, all his own, and utterly charming, and the serious poems are accessible and rich with voice and character. Jim's poems are great works on the page, but the sound file adds a whole new level of enjoyment.
