Physical description; 64 p. ; 20 cm. Summary; To a Fault follows a trajectory from the Northern Ireland of the author's upbringing to the metropolitan "elsewhere" of London, a trajectory (on the evidence of the poems) from misery to boredom. The book's main emotional terrain is post-conflict Northern Ireland, where the shooting has almost ceased, but social divisions are as poisonous as ever: "Someone has almost transcribed / the last fifty years of our speech, / and has not once had the chance / to employ the word sorry." Subjects; English poetry - Irish authors. Poetry. Poetry texts & anthologies. Poetry / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. Genres; Irish poetry - In English - 21st century. Poetry.

Reseña del editor:
In this impressive debut, Nick Laird explores the sharp edge of relationships, from the intimacy of lovers to the brutality of political violence. Journeying between his native Ulster and his adopted London, he balances ideas of home and flight, the need for belonging and the need to remain outside. Formally deft, rhetorically fresh, these poems never shy from difficult choices, exploring cruelty and vengeance wherever they may be found: in love, in work and against political backdrops. But these are brave, resolute writings that resist despair at all times, affirming instead the need to rebuild and to right oneself, to dust down and carry on.
Biografía del autor:
Born in County Tyrone in 1975, Nick Laird is a poet, novelist, screenwriter, and former lawyer. His poetry collections are To A Fault, On Purpose and Go Giants. A new volume is forthcoming in 2018.
