Product Description

Review
"A remarkable triumph. The poems are a coalition of imaginative flair and formal discipline. Each poem bristles with life and longing, intelligence and wit. These are lines and stanzas and poems that signal wisdom beyond his youth. In this sense he is a prodigiously gifted poet. I feel he will distinguish himself as one of the most original of younger writers."

5.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious and wonderful, 26 Nov 2003
By dave (Germany) - See all my reviews
I saw Paul Perry read his poems in Ireland and then I bought the book. It is one of the best first books of poetry I have ever read. Poems which travel through the world, from places in Ireland far off the tourist trail, to Miami, and Gotland in Sweden and Chetumal in Mexico. The poems are dream-like, fascinating, always musical, like in 'rhapsody with owl,' which is almost ginsburg-like in incantatory tone. He is an engaging reader and the poems are deep and senuous. In terms of Irish poetry, one of the most interesting, experimental I have ever read. He is quite simply one of the best. I strongly recommend it.
