Firelines

by Marcus Cumberlege

Marcus Cumberlege's second major collection gathers his poems since `Running Towards a New Life' (1972). The central body of poems is concerned with his rediscovery of Ireland, where he spent six years of his childhood. These poems were begun during 1970-2 when he lived on the west coast of Ireland. In these poems, as Michael Schmidt writes, he shows `a real breadth of scope, formal and experiential.'
