How Now!

by Alan Moore

In How Now!’ Alan Moore treats themes of love, evil, and personal loss with gentle humour and tough seriousness. He evokes memories of Ireland in the sixties, seventies and eighties, capturing flashes of awareness from childhood, youth and adult years with masterful description of emotion and settings.

This absorbing work is his second collection of poems, following Opia’, a Poetry Book Society Choice in 1986, which was described by Ciaran Carty as a virtuoso first collection’.

[Aritry Das · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a wonderful sneak peak into the writer's life, the way he is seeing the world as it goes by. Some poems are worth 4 stars while some 2. But when you read the good ones, it's worth reading the whole collection.
