Found in a Context of Destruction

Noted novelist and essayist Tim MacGabhann's debut collection demonstrates a rare confidence and coherence, charting the course of addiction and recovery in a series of formally assured and blackly funny poems which bring us on a delirious but vividly captured journey from Ireland to Mexico. MacGabhann approaches his subject with empathy and wit, collaging interview recordings, a deep dive into the music of Rory Gallagher, and a measured reflection on the Ireland that made him. These are spare, stark poems of love and survival that open windows on rarely-seen vistas.
