Where I’m From by Sheila Fitzpatrick O’Donnell

This book is much more than a snippet of a poet’s memoir, as exemplified in the title poem, wherein the poet explores the Limerick of a church-ruled childhood with its rebel adolescence and detail of place; followed by poems of protest, social injustice, homage and the poet’s enlightenment in the God Pod of Glenstal and Shanagolden. The book is further strengthened with the excellent, Indigio Child, The Night Shift, Who Do I Think I Am and her legacy My Gift To You, which augurs well for a sequel from the pen of this most confessional and honest of voices. – John Liddy
