This is Kevin Higgins' first book of essays on poetry, the written
word, and the wider world. Higgins is an enthusiastic advocate for
the new generation of Irish poets emerging from a thriving live
poetry scene. He is also a merciless opponent of hypocrisy and
pretentiousness wherever he finds it.
In poems laced with the blackest humor Kevin Higgins spares no-one,
least of all himself. In this his third collection of poetry, he
takes the reader through the hubris of boom time Ireland and out
the other side into a strange country where everything is suddenly
broken again. Just when Ireland imagined itself to have finally
escaped history, the statues of virgins and freedom fighters are on
the move again. Higgins goes all the way into the dark to
investigate what's left when youthful political idealism - his "old
political furniture" - gives way under the sheer weight of what
actually happens.
