Description

Liffey Swim is a striking debut collection of poems from Dubliner Jessica Traynor. In this assured and engaging suite of poems, family portraits combine with myth and history to create a unique and compelling voice.

The poet's language is fresh and confident, drawing on wide travel, meditative intelligence, and an acute sense of history. Her work is informed by the city and its rivers, which become a living metaphor for one woman's life.
