The Goose Tree

Moyra Donaldson is one of Ireland’s leading poets. She has published five previous collections, including a Selected Poems in 2013. Her work has been hailed as ‘urbane, modern, and sophisticated?important and engaging?ambitious in its scope, and speaking with a rare authority?insightful and profoundly moving?’ Whatever the subject matter -be it anatomy, death, life, sex, or the natural world – Moyra Donaldson writes with a keen knowledge of the connection between the private and the public, the past and the present, the local and the universal.
