Bøger af Niall M Oliver

These are clear-eyed, quietly formal poems, moving from memories of a beloved grandmother stolen by Alzheimer's, through to the joy and anxiety of new fatherhood in a role very different to that of the previous generation. They explore the love and tension that exists within families and communities, bearing the weight of expectation and change. But there is humour too, especially when reality collides with the dream of travel, work and finding love. Oliver has crafted tender, intergenerational poems that capture "the sweet spot / the moment in-between, when night / hands-over to morning's light".
