This fine, debut volume will feature a mixture of new poetry and work previously published in journals and anthologies in Ireland, the UK and the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the last decade Eoin's poetry has examined the working class experience, our relationship with nature and hidden family histories. In 'The Anchor Man, ' the sepia tones of a photograph silently define the relationships between a grandfather and two young brothers. Otherwise silenced voices also feature strongly in his work - particularly those of the homeless, marginalized and mentally ill. Soil in 'The Bullfield' echoes the ghost voices of long-gone working men from its furrows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubscribing to the notion that all language is political, Devereux has no difficulty in being described primarily as a political poet. In \u003cem\u003eGardening Leave\u003c\/em\u003e, readers can expect work that is bold, challenging and in places subversive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eoin Devereux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1068418907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781068418907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e 451 Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.30d","brand":"Eoin Devereux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47761213980927,"sku":"9781068418907","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6471557d-9b6d-443e-a530-3315524ea1db.jpg?v=1765514660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gardening-leave-eoin-devereux-9781068418907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
