Praise in Which I Live and Move and Have My Being

Paul Durcan's 22nd collection finds Monsieur le Poète on the road in Paris, New York City, Chicago, Brisbane, and Achill Island, meditating upon the sanctuary of home and what it means to feel truly at home. Regarded by many as the great poet of contemporary Ireland, Durcan is on top form here as he contemplates the fall of the Celtic Tiger, while railing against bankers and "bonus boys." There are poems of love lost and won, and poems in memory of friends and relatives who have passed on, but there is also joy to be found in the birth of a grandson, and there is praise, too, for the modest heroism of truckers, air traffic controllers and nurses, those "slim, sturdy, buxom nourishers" of fallen mankind. If for Sartre "hell is other people," for Durcan "heaven is other people, especially women."
