This is a book about the irreducible core of what it is to be human in a world that changes constantly yet repeats and repeats.

Kerry Hardie's poetry - as the poet Claire Askew has noted - is 'a dark and gorgeous hymn to mortality', using images that speak to a place in us that does not depend on fashion or technology but braves that over-used word 'archetypal'. It is mostly specific to a particular Irish landscape the author knows very well yet sometimes ventures beyond, always with the awareness that fear is our constant companion, but also joy. Its title holds an echo of Beckett: 'I must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on', and holds something of this despair, while holding to the irrational conviction of 'being enclosed by light'. Winner of the Pigott Poetry Prize.

'We Go On, the title of Kerry Hardie's ninth collection, the third with Bloodaxe, echoes Beckett's grim mantra of stoic endurance, 'I can't go on, I'll go on.' But there's little grimness here, rather Hardie's characteristic acceptance of the duality of experience, and determination to express with utter clarity even its most mysterious aspects. [...] As ever with Hardie, there's a visual artist's attention to small detail,how the light shifts from day to day, how the wind sounds or the clouds change shape.'  - Nessa O'Mahony, Poetry Ireland Review

'We Go On, Kerry Hardie's ninth collection, is an astonishingly well-crafted and striking consideration of the glory of our fractured and increasingly fragile world [...] These are poems where the rhythms of hymns, ballads, elegies and laments, with more than a nod to the Bardic tradition, are honed and whittled to an arresting and haunting clarity. Nothing is superfluous here, every line and metaphor is carefully considered to stitch meaning and imagery together, securely and beautifully.' - Linda McKenna, The High Window
