"O'Driscoll is a quietly exciting, subtly intelligent poet."—Poetry London "O'Driscoll's crisp, unobtrusively musical precision gets to the heart of so many subjects, large and small."—The Guardian "O'Driscoll is a real poet: his lines stay with you, and crop up unbidden in your mind as you go about your day."—Poetry Ireland Review Update, the final collection of work by the late Dennis O'Driscoll, weaves a memoir of his past into the state of the world today. The poems embark on a vivid journey through consumerism, our environment, and our fragile existence.
