The Air's Accomplices vividly evokes poet Brendan Galvin's love for
the rugged landscapes of Cape Cod and Ireland and their elusive
inhabitants. Weaving themes of death, migration, and aging into an
exploration of the natural world, Galvin's work reflects a deep
engagement with the places he and his family have called home, as
well as with the triumphs and tragedies of human life. The
collection begins by examining the vagaries of age, as Galvin
ponders his role as caretaker for his wife following her stroke. It
then moves into remembrances of walks on the beaches of Cape Cod,
encounters with land and sea animals, and observations of the
Atlantic Ocean's calm and violence. Other poems commemorate
Galvin's Irish heritage and the emigration of family and friends
from Donegal to the suburbs of his native Massachusetts. Whether
eulogizing a deceased pet or capturing the flight of a seabird, The
Air's Accomplices reveals a keen sense of observation and empathy
for all living things.
