A Round House

Pictorial silver wrappers. SIGNED by the author to half-title. Light wear to covers. *** Second collection by Irish poet Matthew Sweeney (6 October 1952 – 5 August 2018). Often compared to the Austrian poet Georg Trakl, Sweeney’s poetry is beautifully restrained and romantic. Written in simple language, he conjures up a sense of silence and isolation rarely found in the poetry of his generation.
