“Precise and attentive. O’Riordan has the painter’s eye for detail and
the pianist’s touch for sounding the right notes.”—Simon Armitage
This startling debut from a young British poet traces the
paths from past to present, the lost to the living, seeking
familiarity in a world of “false trails and disappearing acts.”
Here, relatives, friends, and other absences are coaxed into
life and urgently pressed on the reader as they surface, in the
flesh. At the heart of the collection lies the sonnet sequence
“Home,” a slant look at the lives of William and Dorothy
Wordsworth, intersected by more recent, sometimes unsettling,
personal portraits. Clear-eyed and sensuous, these are
poems linked by a strong sense of place and presence, of
history captured in an irrevocable moment.
