Publisher Description
I welcome this first collection by Anton Floyd with open arms because it is a breath of fresh air on the Irish poetry scene. A long time in the making, the reader will find between its covers touchstones of Homer's Odyssey, O'Grady's Wandering Celt, Serrat's Mediterranean, the poet's own spiritual journey, love of family and friends, Cyprus and, of course, Ireland with its social and cultural diversities; worked on and brought together under the shadow of An tSeithe Mhór, from where it all falls into place. - John Liddy
'With its foot in the political and civil strife of Cyprus and its head and heart in the spiritual and physical peace of the West Cork hills, this book is an Odyssey for our times. Love, loss, family and displacement are its themes. Floyd has a gift for music and precision that makes this collection both delightful and illuminating.- William Wall
