The Truth and Other Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781908836915)

In this powerful book Clancy excavates the personal and physiological wreckage caused by the grim and unrelenting recession in her native Ireland. In a poetic game of truth and dare the poems here flit between testifying to and then blatantly denying the factual realities of her many protagonists' experiences. Even in the most heartbreaking poems, her language is casual and often almost offhand, leaving the reader to feel like an uninvited eavesdropper, listening in to a forbidden conversation.
