Synopsis

Tom Paulin's latest poetry collection is his first offering in five years. The wind dog is a broken rainbow; here it serves as a bridge into childhood where the primacy of the ear - the only true reader - and the music of words is both demonstrated and celebrated.

Media Reviews
Tom Paulin is among the best of a great generation of Irish poets. -- The Sunday Telegraph
Paulin writes an extraordinary language, even when he's not inventing words or exhibiting some unsuspected prize from the hoard of Irish English. -- Guardian
An original and challenging voice. . . . Ghosts, living and dead--from Chagall to Verlaine, from Lucan to Larkin--haunt these pages, but of all these figures, James Joyce casts the longest shadow. Paulin's improvisatory, allusive, pun-filled, occasionally baggy style owes much to the great novelist. . . . [His] meditations on the nature of Irish identity are sinuous and profound. -- Kirkus Reviews
