Hymn to the Reckless (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781910251263)

Hymn to the Reckless, the debut collection of poems by American-born Erin Fornoff, traces an arc from youthful adventures in the Appalachian mountains to a confrontation with life's complexities, not least in the radically transformed America of recent times.

Moving between that America and her present 'Home from Home' in Ireland, Fornoff finds a kind of consolation in community, while struggling to bridge the ever-widening gap between what is and what should be, between the world she left and the one that threatens to replace it.
