The islands have a proud historic tradition of verse and lyrics. Ever since the earliest fifteenth-century settlers, there have been poems of great importance as chronicles of their time as well as works of creative literature. There have also been many celebrated lighter pieces enjoyed for their entertainment value, composed in many and varied formats and techniques.
Here, our Poetry Editor has curated a interesting collection of works from across the eras, including some especially intended for younger readers.
