A Farewell to Poetry

“A triumph of enormous range and attraction...a great book”
- Bernard O’Donoghue

“A wonderfully rich collection...a magnificent achievement, memorable and deeply humane”
- Gyozo Ferencz

“Fitzmaurice’s signature rhymes are clear and true...He expresses grief, joy, faith and doubt, his poems proof that the universal shows itself most clearly in...concentrated particularities”
- Martina Evans, The Irish Times

“Fitzmaurice is one of the few poets left who see the universal (as Kavanagh did) in the local”
- Fred Johnston, Books Ireland

“There is great comfort to be found in Gabriel Fitzmaurice’s A Farewell to Poetry where a fine selection of his work remains and will endure”
- Enda Wiley, Poetry Ireland Review
