Description

Doireann Ní Ghríofa's first English-language collection of poems, Clasp, is a strikingly physical exploration of her subject matter. Divided into three sections, the poet engages with themes of love, childbirth and motherhood, as well as separation and anxiety.

The result is a nuanced portrayal of the world around her, where personal history and urban life intersect in complex ways. A single poem, Seven Views of Cork City, offers a convincing portrait of the poet's adopted city, while also revealing the restraints that urban life can impose on our desires.
