Drinking the Colour Blue

In Drinking the Colour Blue, Eileen Casey exhibits her skill as one of the finest poets working today.

She explores such themes as nature, an ever-changing urban landscape, loss and recovery, and the dark places of the heart. This is a fine addition to the work of an increasingly established poet.
