Om Ardboe Poet: The Poetry Of John Coleman (1855 - 1938)
John Coleman's poetry was first published from 1929 - 1938 in his local weekly paper, The Mid Ulster Mail. The poems have been recovered from the paper's archives and brought together in one book for the first time. The great majority of the poems have not been available to view until now.
His thoughts cover the issues of the day and many of the poems are still relevant in to-day's world; especially in Ireland. This project is primarily for the extended Coleman family but as they are enjoyable and educational the poems are now available to be shared with anyone.
The subjects covered are his beloved Lough Neagh and Ardboe, Ireland and the Exiles, The Seasons, Memories of Childhood, Religious Thoughts, Life and Death, Commentary of the Day, War and Story Telling.
