More about the book

Exploring themes of memory and loss, this collection of poems weaves together the poet's upbringing in rural Ireland and his current life in suburban New Jersey. The verses are rich with diverse figures from history and culture, juxtaposing personal grief with broader societal reflections. Central to the collection is an elegy for a miscarried child, culminating in a poignant reimagining of Yeats's work that intertwines personal sorrow with contemporary issues, all set against a backdrop of vivid imagery and emotional depth.
