Before
he started writing plays, many of which have been acclaimed internationally
for their inventiveness and adventure, Frank McGuinness published
poems in newspapers and magazines. Booterstown, his first
collection, contains the fruits of his recent return to poetry.
This compassionate and candid book moves impressively between
sure, confident assertions and the brave, tremulous risks of uncertainties
and wonder.
Although it contains a number of elegies, Booterstown sings 'the
glory of the body' and celebrates comforts and faiths constantly
manifest in the human spirit. These are lovely gentle poems. |
