SHORTLISTED FOR THE POETRY PIGOTT PRIZE IN ASSOCIATION WITH
LISTOWEL WRITERS' WEEK Throughout these poems, with their roaming
sense of first-person, there is depth at work where the speakers'
minds are cavernous and echoic, primal and sophisticated, observant
and raw, in and out of control of themselves. The effect is
thrilling and unpredictable, at once a dark art and an illumination
of unease and loss and wishfulness. The collection features
disquieting songs of a mutable self alongside poignant elegies,
interior journeys and subtle (and not so subtle) ripostes to the
legacy of Trumpism - while elsewhere encounters with ghostly feet
and tongues of fire consort with riffs on Baudelaire, Rilke and
Laforgue. These poems twinkle with mischief and humour, making for
a pungent and haunting read. Riordan - a poet whose strong,
rippling influence is felt by all in his wake - affirms his
reputation at the forefront of contemporary poetry.
