Francis Duggan:
(born 1946, Claraghatlea, Millstreet, County Cork, Ireland – has been living in Victoria, Australia since 1989)
Prolific Irish-Australian poet who has been a significant figure in contemporary poetry.
It’s beautiful, the summer month of June, and the sun shines most of the day brightly.
So mellow the gentle breath of June day breeze. The birds rejoicing on the leafy trees and dappled trout in the pool bed of the stream, basking in the sun their spotted skins agleam.
