The House of Clay
Combining resonant narrative and imagery with powerful formal concentration, this collection of verse includes poems inspired by the poet's Belfast childhood, the contemporary Middle East, and Greek and Latin sources such as Pindar and Virgil. Together the poems build into a moving, complex meditation on loss, both personal and historical.
