This was on the shelf for years and I resisted it even though I love Anne Enright because the cover made me think it was a sassy city-office comedy, which I was never in the mood for.
It's not that at all, but it is (patchily) great. And it's not a bad cover, just unsuitable, I think.

Dead Man Walking by David Green is an excellent read.
"Nick Holleran has escaped death, and as a result, he can now see all the ghoulish things that live invisibly among us."

A couple of Pat Ingoldsby's poems
"Passing…" is from Scandal Sisters (Anna Livia Press, 1990)
"Translating…" is from Half a Hug (Willow Publications, 1998). Gleann na gCaorach is Irish for Glen or Valley of the Sheep
The beautiful photo of Pat is by Seamus Murphy, I think
