The Woman With An Owl Tattoo by Anne Walsh Donnelly
This life-affirming poetry collection reflects on the author's growth since the ending of her marriage and what it means to unearth one's true sexual orientation, in mid-life. Anne Walsh Donnelly's intimate exploration of sexuality and identity is both brave and touching, marking this debut collection as a triumph.
Anne Walsh Donnelly is a brave poet who writes with integrityTo my mind she is among the strongest of the new voices to emerge in Irish poetry in the past decade. On first reading her work, you are left with the impression that ideas come to the poet fully formed. Her style is simple, often writing in the colloquial, but when examined closely, the true craft of the work emerges. In this volume Anne documents her own journey of self discovery in a frank, open and glorious fashion. It may bruise the sensibilities of some but will be a joy to most. - Dave Kavanagh: Editor. The Blue Nib.
