Some Integrity by Padraig Regan
The much-anticipated first collection from Eric Gregory Award winner and a contributor to Carcanet's New Poetries VIII anthology.
'To look up from Padraig Regan's words is to find oneself gently re-fitted into the world' - Vahni Capildeo; 'The thing I admire most in Padraig Regan's writing is its lightness of touchThe poems may be ambitious, but their beauty comes from the simplicity with which these ingredients come together. I don't think I've ever come across such joyful, vibrant work.' - Matthew Welton
