From the Altar of the Land by D. Walsh Gilbert

This book presents the story of a pregnant teen sent to a Mother and Daughter Home in Ireland in 1959. It illuminates her struggles with the forces of her family and the Catholic Church to give birth to a child, who is adopted by an American family. While this poetry collection focuses on fictional characters, the subject matter is well-researched. The lyrical and affecting poems share an emotional truth that are part of Ireland's shameful history.
