Description

Second collection of poems by prize-winning poet, John O’Donnell

“…assured, well-made, confident, unpretentious. All of these poems are solid and palpable, with a sure touch and images that work”
— Niall MacMonagle, Rattlebag, RTÉ Radio 1

“He has taken great care in crafting these short poems; images and details carefully selected and arranged, cadences shadowing the iambic base-rhythms… Perhaps Larkin’s shadow hovers over poems like these”
— James J McAuley, The Irish Times
