Borrowed Space: New and Selected Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781906614966)

Borrowed Space celebrates twenty-one years of Irish poet Enda Wyley's poems. In his introduction to this selection, James L. Pethica writes: "It offers us both a retrospective - a compressed and intensified accounting of Wyley's accomplishment to date - and, in the new poems, the forward-looking soundings and negotiations of a writer whose sense of the possibilities of poetry remains vital and immediate." The cumulative effect is one of energy, imagination and heart - and a quiet determination to, in the poet's own words, "write for the page within". "'New and Selected' seems the perfectly suited appellation for the work on offer here. Ms. Wyley's poems are perpetually fresh, utterly scrutinised, marked by vigour and virtuosity, arriving on the page as accomplished things, like settled law, fit for the long haul language calls us to.' - Thomas Lynch
