Painting Rain
(Author) Paula MeehanMeehan explores an Ireland where uncontrolled development is tearing apart a sustaining ecology. The home, the city's heart, neglected suburban battlegrounds, all are shot through with visionary light. In poems of loss, hymns to the empty world, celebrations of people and place, Meehan confronts the darkness that everywhere threatens. These are poems that sustain belief in the power of language to reveal, interrogate and heal.
