Synopsis

"Here, then, is this marvelous poet of elegies and celebrations, of seasons and servants, of boarding school and trundling foreign journeys. Louise C. Callaghan has a keen eye for detail and, like Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, a poet's gifted ear for those forbidden comments heard from behind wooden panels. Moonlight: A Full Moon is a book rich in the detail we've come to expect from this very fine poet, from the Luas epiphany of 'Winter Solstice' to the telling, heart-felt memories of 'The Diplomat's Daughter.' Callaghan has created an incredibly rich and series of nuanced narratives here from the earliest fallen heroes of the Covid pandemic to our own lost literary heroes, Eavan Boland and Derek Mahon. This latest arrangement of her personal myths, along with the deepening grace and poise of her verse-craft, make Moonlight: A Full Moon a rich and important new collection." - Thomas McCarthy

"Louise C. Callaghan's writing displays a passion for and commitment to the art of poetry - a poetry which in shaping has given meaning to the life of this accomplished poet." - Jane Clarke
