Dizzy and yet deliberate, devout but always streetwise, Aidan Mathews moves and startles us. These very clever, complicated poems challenge their own disenchantment and somehow maintain a religious sense of life -- Michael Longley The most talented poet of his generation in Ireland -- Sebastian Barry The commingling here of the sacred and the secular lexicons produces a powerful medicine, a haunted music. Mathews bides his time well between incarnations. These are poems worth waiting for, worth remembering, worth learning by heart -- Thomas Lynch A unique talent -- John Banville
