Written in the wake of Ireland's 2008 economic collapse, Thomas
McCarthy's Pandemonium moves between lament and protest in search
of a meaningful response in language. Many of the poems were
written during a period of retreat along Ireland's south-west
coast, a landscape that imbues McCarthy's politics with geological
intensity. The Atlantic horizon 'where the sun lies down in the
west to die' is mirrored inland by corruption and rot, a modern
Ireland beset, in the poet's eyes, by financial and moral
pandemonium. McCarthy's subtle satiric wit and understated lyricism
preserve raw outrage as historical document. His poems register the
moral ire of many during a pivotal era of Irish history, leading
with the poet's only weapon, the word - 'the ink trail that pain
makes on the page'.
