In Love Life Micheal O'Siadhail tells of a life in love moving through the passionate erotic, the dramas of wooing, promising and quarrelling and the day-by-dayness of home. The seasons of love unfold - young love opening to intimacy, growth into commitment and the slow transformations of life together. Throughout, the core theme a lifetime's amazement at the mystery of one woman. The book culminates in the subtleties and variations of growing old while revelling in the love of life a deux.
A beautiful offering by a top Irish poet. Chronicles of the love of his life over the decades of love and marriage. A very intimate look, without being graphic or confessional, the poet hits the exact right note, inviting us into his marriage, with generosity, hospitality, and honesty. I’d love to read more of his poems.
