As with the astonishing Polite Forms (2012) wherein Harry White reminds us of the capacious beauty of the sonnet, The Kenmare Occurrences takes you by the hand and leads you through exquisite, painful recollection with poems more and less formal, more and less polite. This won't hurt at all, the beauty of the verse suggests. Then, of course, it does. White's strength is to hold both speaker and listener at a distance that is a kind of proximity; the poems acknowledge that memory is flawed, baffling, and all we have to go on. And it might all just be 'a ruinous mistake'. His work invites us in with music charming to the ear, then it plays an echo game-with Yeats and Heaney, and especially Larkin. The Kenmare Occurrences salutes these poets as the collection sails into its own Byzantium, its own Ireland. And the verse, quite simply, changes you.
Chantel Lavoie, Professor of English Literature, Royal Military College of Canada, and author of Where the Terror Lies (Toronto, 2012)
