With an introduction by Helen Dunmore Come for a walk down the
river road, For though you're all a long time dead The waters part
to let us pass The way we'd go on summer nights In the times we
were children And thought we were lovers. The Drowned Book is a
work of memory, commemoration and loss, dominated by elegies for
those the author has loved and admired. Sean O'Brien's exquisite
collection is powerfully affecting, sad and often deeply funny; but
it is also a dramatically compelling book - disquieting, even - and
full of warnings. As the book unfolds, O'Brien's verse occupies an
increasingly dark, subterranean territory - where the waters are
rising, threatening to overwhelm and ruin the world above. Winner
of both the T. S. Eliot and Forward prizes, The Drowned Book is an
extraordinary collection, a classic from one of the leading poets
of our time.
