The narrative revolves around the life of an Irish nationalist and poet who, mentored by Lord Dunsany, published his poetry amidst the turmoil of WWI. After enlisting with the Irish Volunteers, he released "Songs of the Field," a collection of his poems. His spirits waned upon learning of the Easter Rising and the subsequent executions of nationalist leaders, prompting him to pen a tribute to his friend Thomas McDonagh. His life was tragically cut short in the Battle of Ypres in 1917, marking a poignant end to a passionate yet brief literary career.
