The Death Poems: Songs, Visons, Meditations explores death in a range of forms – celebratory, visionary and contemplatively, using subject matter as varied as the dust heaps of remains that accumulated in 19th century London to the environmentally toxic ship graveyards at Alang in India. Formally dazzling, Beirne’s complex and textured meditations are sobering, spiritual and, in the end, sustaining.
Gerard Beirne has published six books including two collections of poetry, Digging My Own Grave (Dedalus Press, 2016) and Games of Chance (Oberon Press, 2011). He was shortlisted for the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award, the Danuta Gleed Literary Award (for best first book of short stories), and the Bord Gais Book Awards. He won the Hennessey New Irish Writer of the Year Award and was runner-up in the Patrick Kavanagh Poetry Award.
