Fierce Scrow

Éadaoín Lynch's debut pamphlet Fierce Scrow contends with the earthy and the elemental. Taking the reader through the beautiful and bleak Burren landscape, these poems reflect place as a memory, from ancient ruins to lost connections to placenames themselves. With adept shifts in tone and language, Lynch plays with a postcolonial inheritance and a queer resistance, showing a keen awareness of their heritage and their legacy - 'Living between one bow stroke and the next.'
