As the title, Prophesying the Past suggests, this collection plays
with our sense of space and time moving back and forth across
dates; locations; time zones; generations and even across the
boundary between life and death. The poems in Prophesying the Past
are never sentimental or didactic, it is left to the reader to
savour the cumulative effect as the poems speak through an urbane
voice; rooted in history, both social and political but always
contemporary in outlook. The personas in this work give voice to
the personal and economic dilemmas of a people, from wartime
Ireland through to the post Celtic Tiger era. These are poems to be
savoured by the generation who were there and explored by the young
to find the foundations upon which they stand today.
