The Crosses [Paperback]

Eamonn Wall (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 31, 2000

'The Crosses' is a striking metaphor that embraces many of the themes that Eamonn Wall explores in his third collection. He takes stock of what we lose and gain as we negotiate paths through an unstable world. Here is a work of mature affirmation that celebrates the deep bonds binding us to land, water, and the streets of the present and past. With verve and wit, Wall deftly crosses and re-draws the boundaries of the contemporary Irish and American worlds.
