Sky and Island Light: Poems

by Brendan Galvin

Book Overview

This stunning collection presents locales ranging from Ireland to the Outer Hebrides, the Orkneys, the Shetland Islands, and the poet's native Cape Cod. In line after line Brendan Galvin evokes the physical world with a naturalist's eye, dazzlingly apparent in the brushstrokes by which he depicts a gull sliding "on a crawl of heat among exposed hummocks" or white birches standing "like hairline / faults of frost / driven through stone."
