Jovial Hullabaloo

Describes the author's first attempts to write poetry - 'a combination of hormonal commotion and aesthetic awakening' - lead on to his meetings with Derek Mahon and Seamus Heaney, their mutual encouragement and shared interests, and to the author's lasting enthusiasm for poetry of the past and poets of his own and younger generations.

This edition is one of the last books to be printed at Rampant Lions before Sebastian Carter's retirement from letterpress-printing in December 2008.
