Other People's Houses, 1999
Second poetry collection.
‘. . . an extraordinary collection in which each poem is firmly located among the fittings and fixtures of an archetypal house — real, ideal and metaphorical . . . While Groarke can be playfully enigmatic, it is the sense of real lives lived in brick and mortar houses that lends this collection its most deeply felt narratives.’
— Gerard Woodward, Times Literary Supplement
‘She is one of the most effective voices of her generation.’
— Peter Denman, Irish University Review
‘subtle sophistication and impressive formal range’
-The Irish Review, No. 25 (1999)
