Collected Poems 1986-2006

Seven poetry collections, including 15 previously unpublished poems, are brought together in this single volume, revealing Greg Delanty's resourcefulness and engaging wit. He explores common experiences--family life, love, friendship, the natural world, and the political world--in unexpected ways, offering the combination of a lyrical Irish voice with a keen outsider's sense of the United States. Using a sequence of metaphors, the poems evoke the subtle interconnections of people and places, past and future.
