This new selection of Poems by Paula Meehan resonates with integrity and sympathy.
She blends the comic and tragic as many Irish writ.
Meehan writes evocatively about gender and class, never losing sight of the lyric purpose of her poems.
The poet moves from the feminist to the ecological, from the grittier urban spaces of the north side of center-city Dublin to the suburban spaces outside, never leaving the former behind while weaving the gathering themes in a compassionate web.
