The poems in this collection range from the boglands of MacKenna''s native Kildare to Northamptonshire, home of one of his poetry heroes, John Clare. Like his short stories and novels, they explore the lives of people on the periphery, interspersed with a deeply personal response to the death of his only brother in 2005, and a strikingly honest depiction of his relationships with his parents and children.
"A consummately skilled author."
Antonia Logue, The Guardian
Mostly, we muddle through,
putting the whole thing down to tiredness,
overwork, a lack of sleep.
Until someone else''s sadness overcomes them
and we have a momentary recognition
of the empty place inside each heart.
John MacKenna is the author of seventeen books – short-stories, novels, memoir, history and biography.
