The London “Star” reports the passing of esteemed Irish poet Aubrey de Vere at Curragh Chase, Limerick. Born in 1812, de Vere began his poetic career in 1842 with the publication of “The Departure.” His body of work has since expanded to include numerous poems, essays, and later works such as “May Carols, Records and Sonnets: Recollections” in 1897. The literary world mourns the loss of this accomplished and cherished poet.
