Encountering Zoe

'This is a monumental body of work. MacIntyre quarries deep into the unconscious, using his own dreams to explore the obsessions of a lifetime with a rigor, and authenticity, which makes this volume one of the most important books of poetry to emerge in many years. It contains a complete map of the labyrinthine mind of one of Ireland's most original and powerful poets. The span of the poetic journey, across five decades, and the author’s commitment to the themes of love and desire is utterly breathtaking' Michael Harding
