This compelling début collection is imbued with a profound sense of place, rooted in memory and history. The poet mines her own lived experience with a delicacy of language that is also muscular and engaging. These are poems which are deeply imbued with the physical environment, evoking the natural setting of North County Dublin, a landscape that inspires the poet to poignant reflections and insights. These beautifully crafted poems, both accessible and profound, make this an outstanding début.
