Description

Mayo based poet Gerard Reidy’s debut collection of poems, published in 1998.

“Ger Reidy’s poetry is inspired by the untamed landscape of Mayo, his lyrics are peppered with hard-hitting musings on the perennial problems that have bedevilled life on the fringe.” — The Irish Times

“There is a quietness, a poetic reserve, at the heart of this book that draws you slowly but assuredly into a world of gentle asides… The images are fresh and the emotions uncompromisingly honest. Buy the book. It’s a wise move.” — Dermot Healy, Cyphers
