Reading Rapture’s Road by Seán Hewitt these days and it’s a full body experience. Tender, delicate and striking, each poem trails a lyrical truth in its wake. It’s bound to be one of the books of 2024. 📚 Ennis Book Club Festival | March 1-3 2024 📚 Poetry Ireland

Sometimes a lantern moves along the night,
That interests our eyes. And who goes there?
I think; where from and bound, I wonder, where,
With, all down darkness wide, his wading light?

Hopkins after the longest night, with thanks to Seán Hewitt whose memoir kept me company
