Selected Poems

by Seán Lysaght

Sean Lysaght's Selected Poems draws on the work of more than twenty years and five collections. Combining lyric darts and tracts of near-Wordsworthian contemplation, it is a carefully considered distillation of what Edward Larrissy praised in Stand as 'a poetry of observation, but also of meditation; a poetry where the everyday verges on the visionary'."

Interesting collection. Some very nice perspectives in this. It's replete with a poetical ambition and vision that is often realised.
