Blood on the Rose / Fuil ar an Rós – Poems of 1916

Blood on the Rose/Fuil ar an Rós is a welcome addition to the artistic projects commemorating 1916. It underscores the rich amalgam of artistic and political expression that defined that seminal act of rebellion, and casts a leery eye on the dearth of similar creative expression at the heart of modern political discourse.
