Belfast Confetti, Ciaran Carson\'s third book of poetry, weaves together in a carefully sequenced volume prose pieces, long poems, lyrics, and haiku.
Rich in lore of place, these innovative and vividly fresh poems draw deeply on traditions--oral, local, and literary..

His subjects include the permeable boundaries of Belfast neighborhoods, of memory, of public and private fear, and, indeed, of the forms of language and art.
