Synopsis
While Downriver contains the English urban pastoral and hymns to the Northern deities for which Sean O’Brien is justly celebrated, the poet has always been more a singer than even his many admirers have sometimes conceded: here, that lyric note is sounded more openly than ever before.
With Downriver, his fifth collection, O’Brien has produced his most various and mature work yet. This is a poetry of both delicacy and gravity, assuagement as well as agitation, rivers that start in hell but later fall as rain – and will only strengthen his reputation as one of the most gifted English poets at work today.

Book Description
Perceptive and darkly funny poetry from the Forward-prize-winning poet.
Synopsis
From the well known critic and poet comes his first new collection in 5 years Sean O'Brien has published four award-winning collections of poems, most recently Ghost Train (1995) which won the Forward Prize for Best collection. He has recently published the controversial study of contemporary poetry, The Deregulated Muse. His anthology of post war poetry from Britain and Ireland was a huge critical success outdoing all other competitors in the field and looks set to become THE book of the period. Sean O'Brien's poems are as perceptive and as wry as his criticism and often very darkly funny - getting to the heart of everyday lives and details with sensitivity and a little cynicism.
