| Synopsis: |
When leaving their homes for America, Irish emigrants hold an 'American wake', a gathering that is both festive and mournful. This new collection from Greg Delanty articulates those complex emotions through loving evocations of Ireland, and nervy, excited responses to the dislocating vastness of America. Greg Delanty's earlier collections were Southward and Cast in the Fire. He was born in Cork and is currently lecturing in Vermont. |
