Nine Bright Shiners

Theo Dorgan

At the heart of Theo Dorgan’s new collection is a sequence of elegies that reflect on early and recent deaths, from the loss of his infant sister to that of a contemporary by suicide. These are poems from a broken world. The book is unflinching in facing up to death and the poet’s own mortality, but these dark meditations are framed by, subsumed into, whole-hearted celebrations of love, life, art and voyaging.
