Aftermath

This, the fourth book of poems in the series, is the follow-up to Rosetta. John felt that as
this is the aftermath of three books published, Aftermath as a title is self-explanatory.
It comes from someone born in Ireland in 1947, exiled since 1967, John is now retired and
writing full-time.
There is no inherent logic to the placement of individual poems: they were, at the time of
writing, responses to everyday situations, written there and then.
