“There is a copious imagination at work here, something decidedly European in its mixture of romantic sensuality and intellect” – George Szirtes.
A dentist of Irish extraction, Jane Kirwan now lives for most of the year in Prague. And that fact colours the themes of displacement, emigration and persecution that run through this her second collection. She is an alien trying to learn a strange language, her partner speaks her language well but struggles with his past as a political prisoner. Herein is the motor which drives some vivid poems.
