Once Was a Boy

by Theo Dorgan

Book Overview

In this vivid, unsparing, new collection, Irish poet Theo Dorgan reaches deep into his Cork childhood to examine, among other things, the wellsprings of what would become a life in poetry. At times with the forensic detachment of adult distance, at other times given over to reliving a child's conscious attention to his own life, these poems explore a past where everything is new in the living moment and yet, somehow, "everything will go on forever"...
