ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
Poems by MARY COLL

Price:

All Things Considered is a collection of poems which explore relationships, what can be resolved and what can hardly be understood. It is a journey through the various ties that bind, which turns each one over like a series of photographs to form a lyrical collage of the emotional life.

About the Poet

Mary Coll lives in Limerick and works as a writer, critic, and broadcaster. This is her first collection although individual poems have been published previously in a number of broadsheets and journals.

Sample Poem

Against a cold surface

And still we love

as if to rob eternity of its void,

delirious in the heave,

languid beneath the honey smear of sky,

elaborate apparatus of finger and tongue,

woman soaring in the delicate ache of summer.

No sweet crush

but a bitter chocolate sweat,

and the essential whispered moan

of gorgeous language,
