In this deeply personal collection, Vivienne McKechnie traces the contours of loss and love across the Irish landscape. From the horror of Tuam's unmarked graves to the tender goodbye at Shannon Airport, from beloved pets laid to rest under apple trees to children building lives across oceans, these poems map the geography of memory and separation. Whether exploring family trauma, climate crisis, or the simple magic of a half moon before a music exam, she finds beauty and meaning in both the monumental and the everyday.
Shades of Red is a collection about the distances between us, between parent and child, past and present, human and animal; and the love that persists across every gap.
