The Nowhere Birds

The Nowhere Birds

This first collection introduces a young writer of remarkable maturity and narrative power. The book's holding pattern is set by questions of location and flight, beginning with views of childhood and adolescence, then moving outwards in poems of daringly imaginative range-finding. Whether describing a derelict harbor, an Alpine sky, Renaissance statuary, or an octopus, Caitriona O'Reilly manages to etch her images into memory with lapidary skillfulness. Above and beyond its wealth of detail and cosmopolitan bustle, The Nowhere Birds honors its title with an acute awareness of what goes on at the fringes of experience.
