From "August". A nib-line of dawn scrolls across night's last charcoal sketch, and in that dark parchment something is writing you -your pencilled silhouette shivers but will not move, waiting for a password...Marked by reflectiveness and mature insight, O'Meara's keen sense of lyric structure and subtle cadences explore in contexts both historical and personal the tension between established knowledge and discovery - the centre and horizon of our unfixed selves. These poems - ambitious, rooted, exuberant and controlled, informed by a certain restlessness - unfold in evocative tones of voice to propel a narrative at once intelligent and charismatic, far-ranging yet focussed. A remarkable debut. David O'Meara is a writer living in Montreal.
