As if it Meant Something
Eventually, she spoke.
If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry,
she said, as she did neither.’
The fifth poetry collection from an award-winning poet, As if it Meant Something is a startlingly beautiful, wide-ranging selection that lays the tapestry of life beautifully bare.
Dealing with the mundane and profound, everyday experiences sit alongside the devastating decay caused by domestic violence and terminal illness, the soaring beauty of the Irish coastline and love, art, thought.
