This first collection from poet, musician and academic Eoin Devereux features a mixture of new poetry and work previously published in journals and anthologies in Ireland, the UK and the USA. Over the last decade, Eoin's poetry has examined the working-class experience, our relationship with nature and hidden family histories. Subscribing to the notion that all language is political, Devereux has no difficulty in being described primarily as a political poet. In Gardening Leave, readers can expect work that is bold, challenging and in places subversive.
Gardening Leave is a towering achievement; it is essential poetry, funny and furious, scything and stark, sincere and always beautiful.
– Donal Ryan, Author
Devereux's cadences often coalesce around deeply felt questions of social justice. This is an important book, full of compassion, to nourish the garden of the spirit.
– Emily Cullen, Meskell UL Poet in Residence
Beautifully free-flowing, dramatic and mature, Gardening Leave announces a poet committed to the humane craft of making the lyrical voice resound as a social instrument and a gift for every reader.
– Martin Dyar, Poet
