Customer Reviews

Very good debut.

Deirdre O'Connor, Before the Blue Hour (Cleveland State, 2002) I have to admit, I'm not exactly sure what to say about Deirdre O'Connor's debut collection of poetry. It's certainly good enough to pick up, if you're a poetry fan. There's nothing here, however, that really jumps out and grabs hold of your lapels to slap you around. But what's here is solid, well-crafted poetry that will take you out of your day for a few moments and deposit you in a different place, looking through the eyes of O'Connor's various narrators at things you wouldn't normally have thought to notice. If you stumble upon this, it's worth picking up. *** ½
