Eamonn Wall arrived in the US in the 1980s as part of a wave of young, educated immigrants who became known as the ""New Irish"". In this book he wrestles with his own identity, and comments on the poetry, fiction, essays, and memories of both the New Irish and Americans of Irish heritage.
Eamonn Wall has a bright eye for detail--a preacher on a plaza in New Mexico, the arrangement of objects in a window in Co. Sligo, pine needles covered in snow in South Dakota Bend-it is from these visual images that the poems in this new collection take flight. They celebrate the joys and heartaches of time spent intensely in the light. One of the many striking themes in this collection is migration and the search for material and emotional shelter and refuge in unfamiliar locations. Here is a poet in tune with origins, dislocations, and the quiet moments that crave for description.
