For the past decade Rita Ann Higgins's strong, clear poetic voice has challenged and revitalised literary norms. With her first publication, Goddess on the Mervue Bus (1986), she was instantly recognised as a powerful force for change. Witch in the Bushes (1988), followed in 1992 by the first edition of Philomena's Revenue, established her solidly in the public mind.
Galway-born Rita Ann Higgins has come from outside the establishment to make her statements for all those who are waiting to hear.
There are not many books of poems of which I can say that I can remember the day, the month, the year when I read them. Rita Ann Higgins's Goddess on the Mervue Bus was such a book. It was a cold dark winter's day when I read it and it lit a fire in my heart. To me Rita Ann Higgins means a unique line in human warmth; and a unique colour of humour and a unique clarity.
