Description
According to his long-time friend, the poet Maurice Riordan, who contributes a foreword to this posthumous collection, Gregory O’Donoghue was “sensitive to the preternatural and the ghostly presences, and had a strong sense of fatality…But these poems have as well a wry and understated sense of reconciliation with the melancholy outcome of our lives and loves.” One of the most admired of the gifted generation of poets which emerged in Cork in the 1970s, O’Donoghue left behind him a body of poetry whose vibrancy and symbolic depth will guarantee him readers for many years to come.
