Valparaiso is a book of poems begun at sea on an Irish research
ship on which Mary O'Malley was a resident poet. It is a book of
searches and discoveries. As the scientists chart a course dictated
by the demands of their own researches, as Ireland is careering
from boom into bust, Mary O'Malley explores the science of going
under and staying afloat. What are the effects of such
transformations on the imagination? A key poem, 'Out', escapes from
the creative lockdown that the Irish boomtime entailed. She returns
to an altered place, and is herself changed by an odyssey that has
taken her around the Atlantic and Europe to a kind of homecoming.
