We're happy to invite you to join us in our Limerick Branch on Thursday November 6th at 6.30pm for the launch of Eoin's book. Officially launched by Donal Ryan and Sarah Moore Fitzgerald.
If you cannot attend this event but would like a signed copy, please add your dedication request in the comment box at the checkout and we will arrange it for you.
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
