Memory, love, history and ideas: Thomas McCarthy has a uniquely direct and engaged approach both to the private and the public, which are inseparable in his poetry. His special blend of wit and lyricism is shown to the full in this selection which draws on his five previous books and adds a large group of new poems.
'Not many poets have the gift of being able to write so tenderly about private affections and so acutely about public figures and events' - Brendan Kennelly'McCarthy has a tone which is very much his own, a kind of burnished commonplace. He writes true satires of circumstance.' - Peter Porter, The Observer'A body of work to be treasured by anyone interested in Irish literature today' - Dermot Bolger, The Sunday Tribune
