Bøger af Barry MacSweeney

Desire Lines presents work drawn from across the author's writing life, and brings close to 400 pages of his work back into print. Drawing on archives and extensive bibliographic resources, this volume collects the majority of MacSweeney's poetry not included in Wolf Tongue (2003), together with an introduction and notes by the editor.

Barry MacSweeney's last book, The Book of Demons, recorded his fierce fight against alcoholism as well as the great love of those who helped save his life - though only for three more years. Wolf Tongue is his own selection, with the addition of the two late books which many regard as his finest work, Pearl and The Book of Demons.
