Romancing The Blarney Stone

Rick Lupert's 19th book - a collection of travel poetry written while out and about in Ireland, the nation that invented the color green.

I can't think of a better book than this to comfort the jetlagged mind of a lonely traveler in a new country. Funny, observant and comforting, "Romancing the Blarney Stone" is a fine read from one of my favorite poets.

A Rick Lupert travel book not only shows us the country visited, it shows us the naked absurdity of the world. Romancing the Blarney Stone gives us a detailed, humorous tour of Ireland, full of blarney, a little stoned (various quantities of fine Irish whiskey are consumed), and always entertaining.
