The Ship of Birth records a father's responses in the time
immediately before and after the birth of his child. Just as
material significant to the dead is placed in a ship of death, so
this ship of birth contains what is significant to the child: the
wonder and trepidation of the parents, the nature of the soul, the
future growth of the child. Greg Delanty's poems draw on his
experiences in American and Irish cultures, using the traditional
verse structures of seventeenth-century religious poets along with
open modern colloquial forms to evoke the subtle interconnections
of the past and future. Without sentimentality or self-indulgence,
Delanty acknowledges the dark and difficult reality that the child
faces, while affirming the sustaining continuity of life.
