Biting My Tongue

Viac o knihe

Exploring diverse perspectives from Ireland, France, and a breakaway republic, the collection features multi-layered poems voiced by women, men, and animals. Neil Astley challenges conventional notions of biography, truth, gender, and sexuality, weaving a narrative of change and transformation. The poems often echo one another, creating a rich dialogue. Central to the collection is Rebecca Hayes, a young Irishwoman whose experiences and imagination serve as a unifying thread throughout the work.
