In his oddly
prophetic review of Vona Groarke's Shale in Poetry Ireland Review,
Anthony Roche appreciated 'a strikingly individual sensibility
rich enough to inhabit a hundred empty rooms'.
Her
second collection uses the image of the house — and houses themselves — as the setting for the enactment of particular lives.
It
includes poems about relationships (some playful, some soured)
and others fixed on public, historical reference points. It concludes with more personal attentions.
