Description: "Seatown and Earlier Poems combines selections from Conor O'Callaghan's first book The History of Rain with his second volume Seatown for his North American debut. He becomes the first new poet published by Wake Forest in nearly a decade.

These poems are powerfully attractive and accessible on first reading, yet they reward rereading, particularly when forms such as terza rime, sestinas, and villanelles disclose themselves as the inevitable complement of a contemporary, on-the-edge setting."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Selections from the author's previous books of poetry The history of rain and Seatown.
