A fragile city
by Micheal O'Siadhail
After the jazz-like vitality of Hail! Madam Jazz, Michael O'Siadhail explores the delicate networks and the powerful energies of modern life. It is a fragile city of trust and its betrayals. Certainties weaken, boundaries blur, selves and societies are shaken. Yet O'Siadhail's poems resonate with hints of new connections, glimpses of transformation. The poetry is cosmopolitan and passionate.
Focusing where public and private life come together, it evokes a world at once complex and vulnerable, but made habitable by trust, hospitality and even celebration. For all the disruption, compassion and wisdom take fresh forms, and the intensity of living 'on the edge' culminates in daring to feast and dance.
