Description
This collection of new poems by one of Ireland’s foremost poets is also a retrospective, with a sampling of his work from each of his earlier 13 volumes. Thus, it is a perfect introduction for new readers and a reminder to his many admirers of what an amazing body of work this poet has produced since his first collection in 1978. The richness of Daly’s poetry is well summed up by Roz Cowman in the Poetry Ireland Review: “The vision is loving, tender, but there is no sentimentality, rather an acute, appalled awareness of cruelty and suffering”.
