Description
Sinéad Morrissey's collection of poems explores the intimate interiors of human relationships, blending form and content with imagination and skill. The poems examine the theme of imprisonment, both literally and metaphorically, and consider the ways in which perceptions shape individual experiences. Throughout the collection, Morrissey weaves together personal and political perspectives, creating a nuanced and thought-provoking work. The poems conclude with a first-person narrative that recounts the life and vision of John Howard, a key figure in prison reform. This unique blend of form and content makes for a compelling and thought-provoking read.
