X, 2014
Sixth poetry collection. Shortlisted for the 2015 Irish Times Poetry Now Award. Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
‘“Beautiful” is a word that does not sit easily with contemporary poetry, and it is not, either, a word that usually describes a book whose subjects include absence, a break-up, a suburban garden . . . But beauty characterises what this book finds in or, better, makes of its subjects.’
- John McAuliffe, The Irish Times (March 2014)
‘as moving as it is poised’
- Edinburgh Review (No. 140, 2014)
‘An outstanding collection by a poet at the height of her powers’
- New Statesman (Jan 2015)
‘Adroit, precise and intellectually daring’
-Warwick Review (June 2014)
