The poems in Mary O'Malley's new collection focus on legal
separation: of Northern from Southern Ireland, of written Irish
from its original script, and of husband from wife. The book
explores a season in hell when the verities vanish, the love we
live by dies, and the ramparts that shore up our existence are
demolished. A marriage breaks down, children leave home, love
itself is questioned. What is home now? Where is it? And how do we
live when we cannot return? The personal is examined through the
lens of the greater human chaos. This is a book about eviction, an
examination of the nature of home that is both private and
political, written out of a sense of the barbarism that threatens
to overwhelm the deep song of Ireland.
