In 'Minty', one of the typically charged and capacious poems in this eagerly-awaited debut collection, a mojito glass reflects:whatever grid of bricks \u0026amp; wood makes up the room wehappen to be sitting inis dilated \u0026amp; wrapped around a single focal-point; whateverportion of the sky that happensto be visible through the window becomes a convex bowl.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Theweather also happens,as it always does, \u0026amp; passes on, \u0026amp; brings those other placeswhere it falls into the orbit of the glass. 'To look up from Padraig Regan's words is to find oneself gently re-fitted into the world,' writes Vahni Capideo, praising Padraig Regan's 'awesome originality and honesty'. The poems of Some Integrity bring something new to the Irish lyric tradition.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Queerness is a way of looking, a perspective, grounded in an awareness of the porous and provisional nature of our bodies. The book's social encounters and exchanges, its responses to the work of artists, its figures in a landscape, and its considerations of food and desire, work as capsule narratives and as an exhilarating extension of that lyric tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: Carcanet Pr\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 83\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13:  9781800172081\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Padraig Regan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43633782915338,"sku":"","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9781800172081.jpg?v=1658318960","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/some-integrity","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
