Wind Dog could use a little less wind,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wind Dog: Poems (Faber poetry) (Paperback)
Tom Paulin's excellent new collection of poetry The Wind Dog might be better with a little less wind. Overall, the collection is a glowing example of strong Irish literary heritage. Paulin is best in the sparest among the collection. The simple, lilting language in the title poem recall days when words meant something more than printed letters. They breathe and live as if they are creatures of their own right. Some of the poems which rely less on the beauty of Paulin's dialect tend to be drawn out and incoherent. Paulin is definitely a master of quick impressions rather than narratives. It is in his short images that transport the reader to a new Ireland that his poetry excels. On the whole,the collection is an excellent introduction to modern Irish poetry.
