Farewell to the Son of the Traveller (I.M. Patrick McKinstry)
by David McKinstry
My father’s ashes were scattered
In a field full of thistles
On McKinstry Road in Belfast
Whilst the final lines of Joyce’s
The Dead were read.
The wind gently lifted
His remains and blew his spirit
To the four provinces of Erin.
Those same silver breezes
Glided grains of him
Into the heavens
Where the solar winds
Carried his quintessence
Through the universe.

The phrase “cruel to be kind” comes from Hamlet, but Shakespeare’s Prince didn’t go in for kidnap, explosive punches, and cigarette deprivation. Tam is different.

ANGUS REID deconstructs a popular contemporary novel aimed at a ‘queer’ young adult readership
