“Eithne Lannon’s delicate, measured and luminous first collection is a masterpiece of cadence and timing. Every line, every phrase and couplet, seems to have been weighed on a heavenly weighing-scales so that her reverence for language is uncannily complete.”
Thomas McCarthy , Shine/ Strong Best First Collection, 2020
“In the cool breath of evening, tidal swamp-sands swell over stones, shadows slide out of things.”
