by Nancy Kerrigan (Author)

The poems in Nancy Kerrigan's Lucky Enough: A Journey trace a life shaped by an Irish Catholic youth in Chicago, through love and heartbreak and illness, to hard work and a new sort of life in Hartford, and off to Ireland to meet relatives and learn of ancestors. It's a journey through time, geography, and the labyrinths of the heart. You don't have to be Irish-American to relate to the emotions and evocations in this poetry collection.
