Lighthouse by Colm McHugh
A
first collection of poems, introducing a new voice to
Irish poetry.
Lighthouse is a first collection of
poems from a new voice on the Irish literary scene. It
is a voice of quiet intelligence, orchestrating the
rhythms of everyday life into a poetry that continues to
resonate in the mind. Contemporary living is McHugh’s
preoccupation, and he combines acute observations with
beautifully crafted images in verse which will surely
find a response in the mind of the modern reader. Even
when he draws directly on the tender aspects of family
life, there is no sentimentality, and the nuances of
feeling are conveyed with a sure hand and a clear mind.
Here is a poet who writes with an instinctive grasp of
the form.
If you do one thing this week, read
'Lighthouse'. This is a wonderful first collection of
poems by Colm McHugh, who finds his subject matter in
contemporary living, his inspiration in familiar
landscapes.
