Mysteries of the Home gathers into a single volume a selection of
poems from Paula Meehan's two seminal mid-career collections, The
Man who was Marked by Winter (1991) and Pillow Talk (1994), both of
which won considerable praise from critics and readers alike.
Included here are some of her best-known and best-loved poems -
'The Pattern', 'The Statue of the Virgin at Granard Speaks', 'My
Father Perceived as a Vision of St Francis' and 'The Wounded Child'
among them. They show an artist at the height of her powers
producing work of "remarkable candour and ... stunning lyricism"
(The Colby Quarterly). Paula Meehan was born in 1955 in Dublin
where she still lives. Besides six collections of poems, the most
recent of which are Dharmakaya (2000) and Painting Rain (2009), she
has also written plays for both adults and children and conducted
residencies in universities, in prisons and in the wider community.
Paula Meehan is a member of Aosdana and the recipient of a number
of awards, including the Marten Toonder Award for Literature in
1995 and the Denis Devlin Memorial Award in 2001.
