Description: These poems report on worlds both robust and delicate, from boisterous pub-bluff to the oxygen bubble of an exquisite underwater spider. Whether situated in the quiet lanes of his native Cork or amid the bustle of London, Riordan's poems exist between many states, poised at once in the grip of both activity and stillness.
