Poem and prose on Liberty faith and Irish trial tale
A literary slice from Oshkosh Wisconsin requests poetry on democracy by John G Whitten and includes a lengthy narrative about Ireland's 1798 rebellion era. The piece blends devotional verse and a courtroom tale where Mary Donovan betrays a lover to defend justice while Phelim Reeney faces trial. The acquittal of the rebel and Mary’s silence leave a somber note on independence.
