A revisiting of O'Brien's four previous collections that moves up to the present day. Her new poems mark a maturing of her work, dealing with ill health, parenthood, nature, and everything in between. As with her previous collections, her work is honest and direct and calls for a similar response from the reader. As ever, she broaches hard subjects without fear or compromise and faces her own mortality. These poems are dealt with in a light-hearted way that belies their seriousness; they are lively and always readable. Jean O'Brien lives in Dublin.
