This is a first collection from a young voice from Northern Ireland. Her poems are lyrical and rhythmic with a good ear for language. There is the woman who feels sick as she prepares a turkey for Christmas dinner; the boys who sit on a wall outside the court of the Bulger trial; the telephone that is `a hair' between lovers.Accessible, moving poetry from an interesting new voice.
