Fleeting Whispers

by Tom Brophy, Ciaran Gormley, Brendan O'Brien

Fleeting Whispers is a collection of poems by young Dublin writers. Poets were given no instruction on theme or structure; they were told to just write. The resulting collection reveals the young Irishman's connection to love, life and church. It offers an examination of multifaceted masculinities, didactic denominations, and chaotic culture. There is truth to be found in the words of tomorrow's wordsmiths. There is a fear to be found in the meandering musings of men who have been told they are the problem. There is an acceptance of responsibility and a willingness to change, a bracing for impact as a collective wave of anxieties engulfs their youth. Knees buckle, but they do not break. As you read through these poems, consider the people in your life who you have loved and lost. Consider those who you have seen succeed and fail. Consider the ever-spiralling complexities of simple moments. Consider yourself, herself, himself, themselves. Consider why people write and why it is important to hear their fleeting whispers.
