On Ballycastle Beach

With this third collection, Medbh McGuckian deepens her exploration of the tension between imaginative and quotidian experience in suburban Belfast. In poems that explore a woman’s intense inner life — within the body, within the home, within erotic and maternal relationships — she gracefully unhinges semantic structures and rational thought to create an emotionally charged and very personal language.
