The History of Rain (Inscribed) - O'Callaghan, Conor

INSCRIPTION FROM CONOR O'CALLAGHAN on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In Conor O'Callaghan's first collection the poems occupy different thresholds: between stillness and motion, shade and light, shape and shapelessness. Ordinary symbols such as room, house, garden, and road, are rendered less reliable by shifts of time and tenses. But The History of Rain is united ultimately by an awareness of elemental forces, of how those forces can influence experience, and by the poet's constant need to arrest moments when history and the individual glance against each other.
