After five chapbooks and ten years writing poetry, this first full collection has a wide wingspan and a sharp eye. Migrating from Dublin to Lough Gara, on the Sligo Roscommon border, the intimacies of personal life sit easily next to global themes of conflict, the environment/migration, and the universal matters of love and death. Politics - with a small p - are always just under the skin of Jessamine O'Connor's writing, but she avoids telling the reader what to think, instead she shows by example how to feel.
