Thomas MacDonagh was executed in May 1916 for his part in the Easter Rising in Dublin. His "Poetical Works" were published in a hastily assembled edition later that year. This ePub uses the 1916 Poetical Works as its basis, and adds the full text of The Golden Joy, first published in 1906.

The volume contains notes by MacDonagh and the editor, Lesley Storm, and a brief introduction / memoir by James Stephens.
