Stopgap Grace

More about the book

Proof that the sublime and absurd sometimes switch jobs. All sacred words get used and every recklessness sanctified. No sooner has night `slid its burlap sack over our heads' than we are given `alibis for something that / never happened.' McCarthy's voice is the one we want when we're running low on grace.-Brendan Constantine. Neil McCarthy grew up in West Cork in the eighties. He graduated from NUIG, and began travelling and writing poetry soon after.
