Séamus launches new poetry collection

Launch at Tuam library

AN exciting new collection of poetry by Tuam-based Séamus Ruttledge will be launched at Soundbites in Tuam Library today, Thursday, October 31 at 1pm.

Jackdaws Chant The Blues is the title of the collection from the North Mayo native and long-time resident of Tuam.

The poet and songwriter is a great observer of life and this shines all through this collection of poetry. His poems are a journey through mystery, mysticism and the secrets of country people.

Jackdaws Chant The Blues celebrates country life with evocative imagery and at times humour, through poems like No Flowers Please, Winter Is Nearly Done, and In Times Of Change.
