Tom Paulin's first collection since The Road to Inver in 2004,
Love's Bonfire sets poems about early life and marriage beside
up-to-the minute and minutely registered perceptions of
post-settlement Ireland. At the book's centre are delicately inward
versions of the contemporary Palestinian poet Walid Khazendar,
which resonate with the proximity of other lives, other exiles and
destinies, as of an autobiography by other means. 'Who entered my
room when I was outand moved the vase on the mantelpiece just a
tad?who skewed that print - a Crusader - on the far wall?and those
pages loose on my deskthey're a shade dishevelled aren't they?'
[from 'Belongings']
