Pearse Street

Poet Kerrie O Brien gives us a short poem about Pearse street, revealing a small hidden part of its history. Kerrie is one of Ireland's most promising up and coming poets, having won several awards and performed her poetry around the country. Her first book of poetry is 'Out of the Blueness' and well worth a look. http://www.kerrieobrien.com/

More about Pearse Street

James Pearse arrived in Dublin in 1860 from Birmingham to work as a sculptor and formed the premises on Brunswick Street in the 1870's. His two famous sons - Patrick and William - kept his business alive after his sudden death in 1900. Both were executed later for their part in the 1916 rebellion.
