Influences: The Irish Poems reflects the region's unforgiving history and terrible beauty with a kind of wry cynicism, dark humor, and love of Nature that is so characteristic of the Irish philosophy of existence. Unrelenting in their gaze, these poems yield to the unvarnished sentiment of the simple aspect of "now," whether on the darkness of death or the rambunctiousness of feral felines-and there is something here to captivate every reader.
