Sickles of Roughcast Mercy

By Sean O'Neill

This volume brings together for the first time a range of poems from the early part of this century to the present. Each of Sean O'Neill's eight volumes of poetry are represented in chronological order so that the reader gets a sense of the poet progressing and changing idioms, styles and diction depending on the mood, the subject matter and the particular moment in time in which the poem was being written. The poems tend to lie somewhere along a continuum between the formal at one extreme and free verse on the other, and there is much experimentation with form, punctuation and even typography. I hope you enjoy this selection of poems and that the messages contained herein find a place in your heart as it has in mine.
