A job of journeywork : selected published writings, letters and speeches of Jim Kemmy

Kemmy, Jim, 1936-19972023
Books, Manuscripts
Reading this collection reminded me once more of how significant and multi-faceted Jim Kemmy's legacy is. As a stone-mason, Jim knew only too well how walls and other structures are made up of interconnecting parts. The first line of his poem The Granary 1787-1987...speaks of 'brick upon brick, stone upon stone' and reminds us of the importance of seeing the connections between things. Kemmy's life-long commitment to bearing witness for the common man and woman, for calling out exploitation and for always imagining and proposing a better world - for all - through collective action continues to resonate (from the foreword by Prof. Eoin Devereux).
