Moyra Donaldson is one of Ireland's leading poets. She has published five previous collections, including a Selected Poems in 2013. Her work has been hailed as ‘urbane, modern, and sophisticated…important and engaging…ambitious in its scope, and speaking with a rare authority…insightful and profoundly moving…' Whatever the subject matter –be it anatomy, death, life, sex, or the natural world - Moyra Donaldson writes with a keen knowledge of the connection between the private and the public, the past and the present, the local and the universal.
