Anne Duggan

The youngest of the family of Cornelius and Catherine Duggan a woman who was compassionate and kind Who was known for her generosity of spirit and brilliance of mind From her Hometown of Millstreet Anne Duggan lives far away She became a nun in the U S of A One in her late sixties or early seventies with a great life story to tell At poetry and stories one who writes rather well Among the literary legends of Duhallow Anne can claim her place Though to many living there nowadays hers may not be a known face In the Millstreet of my younger years not a leading light But i always did know her to be intelligent and bright Anne Duggan one who has matured like good wine From above average to genius she has crossed that line If there is such a thing as re-incarnation which seems possible to me Edward Walsh re-born she even may be Duhallow's legendary poet in a now long gone day I only say of her what does seem fair to say I knew her to be charming and a pleasure to meet Among Duhallow's literary exports the best of Millstreet Her best days are coming her best days not gone Good on you Anne Duggan keep on writing on.
