A Poetry Book Society Recommendation. Tell Me This Is Normal is a generous selection of Julie O'Callaghan's poetry. She is a singularly acute observer of human behavior, with a sharp Swiftian eye and an alert ear that have made her one of the finest and funniest practitioners of the monologue in poetry. Yet, notably in the poems charting her father's illness and death, she can also strike an elegiac and heartbreaking note.
