Northly
Northly is a haunting evocation of the culture and spirit of northern lands, especially Ireland and of Norway, the poet's adopted home. The language is stark, precise and unexpectedly poignant, as the poet traces the ancient and contemporary pathways of the wanderer. Out of many strands of history, family and the contemporary world, the poet creates a beautiful tapestry of images and impressions that is both mysterious and compelling. Praise for Northly "The nostalgia of the emigrant far from home is here coupled with an unrelenting realism in poems of clarity, vigour and beauty. From his 'water-mouthed' home city of Waterford, to the bitter cold of his new home, Oslo, work and politics, the sea, history and the present crowd this collection. Everywhere is winter, its beauty and its hurt, the loveliness of the ice in the heart." William Wall.
