A Man Is Only As Good... by Pat Boram Leonardo Boix by the brutal trial andA Man Is Only As Good is a pocket sized introduction to the poetry of award winning Irish poet and writer Pat Boran, drawing on five previous full length collections and including the late Dennis ODriscolls prose introduction to the poems.
