Medbh McGuckian - The Book of the Angel (paperback)

Shortlisted for the 2005 Irish Times Poetry Now Prize

"Sensuous and intellectual at once, McGuckian's poetry is marked by a kind of ecstatic flow that never leaves the ground." Tom D'Evelyn, Providence Journal

"Like a medieval painting whose archaic symbolism is lost on modern viewers, the beauty of McGuckian's work proves ravishing, uncanny." Megan Harlan, San Francisco Chronicle
