Produktbeschreibung

A.M. Cousins' astute poems are sure-footed, superbly crafted, grounded in earned wisdom, shot through with insight, and written with perceptive compassion, anger at injustice and a humane clear-sightedness that is the hallmark of a unique voice. Dermot Bolger, 2021

A.M. Cousins's poetry addresses a diverse range of topics and themes from the personal, public and historical spheres. In poem after poem she demonstrates the honed skilfulness that has earned her an array of literary awards. Margaret Galvin, poet and Editor. 2021

'Not My Michael Furey' by Anne Cousins' After immediately contextualizing itself with its reference to Joyce's "The Dead," this poem uses a deceptively simple diction to invite the reader into the mind and heart of its charmingly girlish narrator. Not a word is wasted in the clean, spare lines of this beguiling, bittersweet poem.' Billy Collins, 2019

"A.M. Cousins speaks for the silenced, the disempowered, the dispossessed. Her clear voice echoes back through the corridors of history, and forward into the future daring it to not cause the same harms. Her quiet authority, subtly expressed in poem after poem, builds to stunning impact. This impressive collection is a vital and powerful reckoning." Grace Wells. January, 2021
