AFTER THE BALL Poems by BREDA SULLIVAN Sale Price: (Normal Price: 8.88) | Paperback | 130 x 204mm | 64 pages | ISBN 1 897648 33 2 | Currency Convertor Breda Sullivan's poetry is much praised for its quality of delving deeply into human experience with a spare, exacting grace. A quiet unobtrusive voice which nonetheless makes its point clearly, 'The poems of Breda Sullivan are a revelation ... They ring perfectly true and clear; they are simple but well-wrought and linger long and profoundly in the mind. They do not say too much - clutter is the ruin of elegance. Ars est celare artem - true art is to conceal art!' - Gabriel Rosenstock, Poetry Supplement, Education Today   About the Poet Winner of the 1998 National Women's Poetry Competition, the Edgeworth Prize and Balbriggan Writers' Group 'Tribute to Lil' Poetry Competition, Breda Sullivan's other awards include Syllables, Hopkins, Boyle Arts Festival, Figments, KISS, Mohill Arts Festival and Clogh Writers' Group Poetry Competitions.
