“Chapman is the Velvet Underground of Irish poetry and makes many poets twenty years his junior look like aspiring archbishops in comparison.” - Kevin Higgins

Memory as unreliable narrator; the redemptive power of atheism; our relationship with oranges – these are among the subjects of this book, alongside personal responses to cultural touchstones: Leonard Cohen’s oft-quoted ‘Anthem’, Andres Serrano’s devotional Immersion (Piss Christ), and Yoko Ono’s orgasmic ‘Kiss Kiss Kiss’.

Patrick Chapman's first two collections, Jazztown (1991) and The New Pornography (1996), introduced a fearlessly original voice in modern Irish poetry. The Following Year, his tenth, reveals that voice anew, finding insight and compassion in remembrance and reflection.
