In Ganymede

In Ganymede audio

‘In Ganymede’ as a poem dates back to the late 1970s and was written when I was a student at Trinity College Dublin. It was a particular favourite of the late poet and friend Pádraig McGrane and is dedicated to him for that reason.

It first appeared in the now defunct Brigid’s Fire magazine in 2008 and was published in my first poetry collection, The Parting (Amethyst Dragon, 2013).
