Portobello, the district in Dublin where the Irish poet Harry
Clifton lives, is a microcosm of a changing, cosmopolitan Ireland.
These sonnets, written on his return from sixteen years in
continental Europe, are at once a celebration of place, a coming to
terms with age and a rediscovering of the universal in the local.
Harry Clifton has published seven other books of poetry, most
recently The Holding Centre: Selected Poems 1974-2004 (2014) and
The Winter Sleep of Captain Lemass (2012) from Bloodaxe, and
Secular Eden: Paris Notebooks 1994-2004 (2007), winner of the Irish
Times / Poetry Now Award, from Wake Forest University Press in the
US. His other books include On the Spine of Italy (1999), his prose
study of an Abruzzese mountain community, and Berkeley's Telephone
(2007), a collection of short fiction.
