"Ago is a richly detailed and elegantly crafted exploration of mutability fine tuned to the times and places where the men and women brought to life here have loved and lived. The luminous, wise, and moving poems--in form and language recalling Dickinson, Hopkins, Kinsella, among others--transport us to the heart of deep time and experience across the Midwest, New England, and Ireland." - Eamonn Wall, author of Junction City (2015) "Ago pays homage to those in life who have been "caught" in mortality's net.

"Ago is a richly detailed and elegantly crafted exploration of mutability fine tuned to the times and places where the men and women brought to life here have loved and lived. The luminous, wise, and moving poems--in form and language recalling Dickinson, Hopkins, Kinsella, among others--transport us to the heart of deep time and experience across the Midwest, New England, and Ireland." - Eamonn Wall, author of Junction City (2015) "Ago pays homage to those in life who have been "caught" in mortality's net. With the luster and simplicity of a fine glaze on a porcelain bowl, these poems capture luminous moments from an ongoing darkness that "we will travel into but not return from." - Leslie Miller, author of Y (2012) Thomas Dillon Redshaw employs concise and lucid form to great effect, intertwining the rigor of a particular American strain with something close to the lyric order of Irish poetry. Among his poetic gifts are eloquence, insight, directness. He fetches images from his own local, familiar Midwest scenes with the same intensity of feeling with which he looks at works of art." - Gerard Smyth, author of The Sundays of Eternity (2020)

THOMAS DILLON REDSHAW (b. 1944) is the author of Heimaey, The Floating World, Mortal, and fugitive broadsides and chapbooks. Raised on the North Shore of Massachusetts, he first encountered living Irish poetry in the impromptu readings of Desmond O'Grady in Cronin's, behind Harvard. He studied poetry with X.J. Kennedy, John Montague, and M.L. Rosenthal. He studied Irish writing with Roger McHugh and David H. Greene. His poems have appeared in American little magazines and, mainly, in such Irish publications as Cyphers, Poetry Ireland Review, Southword, and the Irish Times.
