A Shed for Wood

Résumé du livre

Daniel Thomas Moran is a poet whose American sinews were birthed by Irish forebears, and who arrives as a poet from an unlikely place. A doctor of dental surgery he writes, not from pedagogy, but from his own nature; with a sense of wonder at and worship for the assorted reflections of existence. In his seventh collection he comes home again, to Ireland, with all his accounts of life in the new world. His poems are a travelogue of oddly varied subjects and points of view; faces and places where he engages and acclaims the diverting particulars of living. He does it with poignancy and with wit, with tenderness and a peculiar perspective, and with a proud and well-earned American-Irish breed of wisdom. He lives in New Hampshire.
