Some of these poems, in their discursive manner, reminded me of the best of Ciaran Carson's work, the longer-than-usual lines, the thought process that is followed wherever it may go. . The language does the work and the poems are intelligent and captivating, and deserve, require, and reward close reading.' - Richard Hayes, Poetry Ireland Review'Patrick Cotter is a poet capable of being both playful and serious to excellent effect.
