With an Introduction by James L. Pethica, Professor of Irish Studies and Modern Drama at Williams College, USA, Borrowed Space: New and Selected Poems “offers us both a retrospective — a compressed and intensified accounting of Wyley’s accomplishment to date — and, in the new poems, the forward-looking soundings and negotiations of a writer whose sense of the possibilities of poetry remains vital and immediate.” Together the poems in Borrowed Space display to remarkable effect Wyley’s “eager attention to experience and to the problematic task of honouring and representing it in words.”
