About the Author:
Paul Durcan is one of Ireland's foremost poets. His first book, Endsville, has been followed by more than 20 others, including The Art of Life, The Berlin Wall Café (a Poetry Book Society Choice), Daddy, Daddy (winner of the Whitbread Award for Poetry), The Laughter of Mothers, and A Snail in My Prime: New and Selected Poems.
Review:
"Durcan’s must be the most capacious and generous mind in contemporary poetry: in the face of the rabid and murderous dark he finds always something or someone to celebrate." —Sunday Tribute
"Paul Durcan’s Ireland is the one we inhabit. At times he is ready to celebrate the bizarre amd the ordinary; at other times he is full of a surreal rage against both order and disorder." —Times Literary Supplement
