Maura Dooley's poetry is remarkable for embracing both lyricism and
political consciousness, for its fusion of head and heart. These
qualities have won her wide acclaim. Helen Dunmore (in "Poetry
Review") admired her 'sharp and forceful' intelligence. Adam Thorpe
praised her ability 'to enact images for complex feelings...Her
poems have both great delicacy and an undeniable toughness...she
manages to combine detailed domesticity with lyrical beauty, most
perfectly in the metaphor of memory ' - "Literary Review". These
new poems take in the physical landscape, family and friendship, as
well as the transience of both folklore and politics. In part, an
attempt to speak of what is submerged, they welcome that 'splash of
cold water to the face' that tells us we're alive.
