Facing the Public by Martina Evans
Winner of the 2011 Piero Ciampi International Poetry Prize. This collection contains the familiar Martina Evans elements but with a sharper political edge. The title poem is an essay in her most engaging narrative-comic style, familiar to audiences at her superb readings: my mother never asked like a normal person, it was I'm asking you for the last time, I'm imploring you not to go up that road again late for Mass.
Martina Evans's poems are a miracle, for the way they combine total clarity with profundity: the way the apparently innocent and observant humour of their narrative surface covers a compassion and understanding that are often heartbreaking and heartbrokenTragedy and cheerfulness are inextricable here. 'Facing the Public' is my book of the year.' - Bernard O'Donoghue
Martina Evans, poet, novelist and teacher, was born in Cork, the youngest of ten children. She now lives in London with her daughter Liadain. She has published three books of poetry and three novels.
