Synopsis
John Montague explores the political divide in his native County Tyrone, intimate aspects of his own rural Catholic upbringing (recollecting a ritualized lifestyle that is fading from view), the changing face of modern Ireland, landscape as historical palimpsest, and his own fascination with the sea. There are two highly accomplished long poems: one a wry tribute to Montague's brother; the other a journey into ancient grounds and a dark mystery.
