powerful and deep

I picked this up at the advice of a friend and I find that I read a little of it at a time because it is deep. I'm not finished with it yet. I'm not as well read as my friend so I've had to go and look up a few of the people who are referenced in this book (JM Synge?), but the work is amazingly moving and I find myself thinking about the poems, or an image or line from a poem, during the day. I'm haunted by it. I highly recommend it.
