Expand description
Peter Sirr's fourth collection is a series of transactions between people and places, departures and arrivals. The first section explores notions of home and homelessness in the lives of voyagers, residents, tourists, and adventurers, including medieval Jewish travellers and Irish glassmakers. Part two, "A Journal", an extended meditation on desire and difference, charts the history of a love affair. This wide range of voices, their varied historical and geographical settings, combines to make this Sirr's most opulent book to date. Peter Sirr is Director of the Irish Writers' Centre in Dublin.
