by Ciaran Carson (Author)
This collection of poetry is a sequence of 77 sonnets, written in alexandrines, that takes the reader through revolutionary France and Ireland to imperial Japan. The poppy recurs as an emblem of peace and the opium wars, and a fractured vision of an ideal republic gradually emerges.
