On Water

By John O'Donnell

Book Overview

Exploring the universal themes of exile, love, sex, and death, Irish poet O'Donnell's third anthology of poems is alive to both the present and the past. Focusing on the intimate particulars--a mother's panic on a beach, the stench of an industrial school, and a slave-trader's one good eye--these poems are armed with a lightness of touch, yet unafraid of the darker regions of our experiences.
