In this episode, Mary explores the old Irish tradition of naming poems, which
has been adapted by this province's poets in some creative ways. Keep an ear
out for your corner of St. John's in these lovely pieces, and learn some of
the lost names of our ancient city. Includes a work by acclaimed local poet
Robin McGrath. Music by Chris McGee
