Tom Paulin's first collection since The Road to Inver in 2004, Love's Bonfire sets
poems about early life and marriage beside up-to-the minute and
minutely registered perceptions of post-settlement Ireland. At the
book's centre are delicately inward versions of the contemporary
Palestinian poet Walid Khazendar, which resonate with the proximity of
other lives, other exiles and destinies, as of an autobiography by other
means.
'Who entered my room when I was outand moved the vase on the mantelpiece just a tad?who skewed that print - a Crusader - on the far wall?and those pages loose on my deskthey're a shade dishevelled aren't they?'
[from 'Belongings']
