Healing Room

Description

Mícheál O’Siochrú’s third poetry collection is an intriguing journey from the pandemonium of the opening poem “The Attic” to the silence of “Healing Room”.

His beloved ocean and Shannon river flow through several poems and are used metaphorically and to great effect in “Ephemeron”, “Dawn”, “Eureka” etc. The themes are diverse, the poet casts a discerning eye over many human issues; the faltering actor in “Stageman”, the stroke victim in “Lilliput”, the genius musician in “Maestro” and living rough in “Butterfly” as well as hilarious moments in poems such as “The Stick”.

This little tour de force is a determined search for healing through the medium of poetic expression.
