The Last Irish Romantic (poems) by Dr. C.A. Buckley
The Last Irish romantic is the debut collection of poems by Dr. C.A. Buckley, comprising four sections – (1) journey out of darkness; (2) the tree of love; (3) the pilgrim Hiker; and (4) occasional lights – which between them explore a variety of subjects, from early childhood, through romantic and spiritual love, along the way charting the author’s travels at home and abroad. Most striking perhaps are the fresh and frank self-portraits, including ‘Seminary Fantasies’ and ‘The Celibate Who Loved Women’, which mark this out as a truly distinctive debut volume.
