A Hymn of the Dawn by Padraic Fallon
Hardcover, UK | Signed and Dated | 1st Edition | 1st Printing | 2003 | Publisher: The Lilliput Press Ltd.
A rare and precious signed and inscribed first edition from Padraic Fallon — the revered Irish poet, playwright, and man of letters, widely regarded as one of the most important Irish poets of the twentieth century and a significant influence on subsequent generations of Irish writing. Fallon's poetry is rooted in the landscape of the West of Ireland, mythology, and a deep engagement with the spiritual dimensions of the ordinary world. This collection, published posthumously by the distinguished Dublin independent press The Lilliput Press, brings together some of his finest lyric work. A genuinely scarce title — Lilliput Press titles from this period are rarely found in comparable condition.
