Description
In "Drinking the Colour Blue", Eileen Casey exhibits her skill as one of the finest poets working today, as she explores such themes as nature, an ever-changing urban landscape, loss and recovery, and the dark places of the heart. This is a fine addition to the work of an increasingly established poet. 'Rarely does a debut collection burst off the page with such virtuosity, assurance and poise'- Dermot Bolger. 'These poems, driven by the image and intellect, are luminous and true' - Thomas Lynch. 'The world in these poems is acutely observed. They have strong bodies as well as compelling spirits' - Brendan Kennelly.
