Description
The Shark Nursery by Mary O'Malley is a collection of poems that respond to a world in turmoil. Drawing on traditional Irish poetry and myth, O'Malley's animals resist human roles and find new language in the face of contemporary challenges. In this powerful and evocative book, the boundaries between human, animal, and metaphysical realms are blurred. Poems like "The Ballad of Googletown" offer a haunting portrayal of life lived online, where social interaction is unnecessary. With its rigorous attention to language and tone, The Shark Nursery promises wisdom that is both hard-won and hesitantly shared. O'Malley's poetry is marked by truthfulness, seriousness, playfulness, and a particular kind of wisdom that has earned her a reputation for delivering thoughtful and insightful work.
