Oxford Poets Fireflies, (Paperback)

Engaging both the intriguing past and the vibrant present of an unfamiliar and ethically diverse place, the first half of this new collection of poems explores the mysterious sides of New York. The second half of this consideration focuses on the very different land of Northern Ireland, discussing its troubles, the dynamics of ruined communities, and the recent influx of immigrants. Elegiac and celebratory, lively and mordant, this compilation illustrates a complicated sense of the connections between time and place.
