The Road, Slowly

By Liz Quirke

A ground-breaking debut collection of love poems. With an assured voice, Quirke's poems weave through the experience of becoming a wife and mother in a collection of considerable lyrical beauty. Her poetry ploughs new thematic ground with confidence and subtle observations. Same-sex parenting in modern Ireland; non-biological motherhood and ways in which the past can inform the present are explored. Quirke celebrates the connection between parents and children within a non-nuclear family with scalpel sharpness and a discerning eye. Liz Quirke is a PhD researcher at NUI Galway.
