Shadows on our Doorstep is an outstanding first collection from Cavan poet P.J. Kennedy that has drawn comparisons with the work of Patrick Kavanagh. Beautifully presented in hardback, this debut collection should find a place on the bookshelf of all lovers of classic Irish poetry.
Praise for Shadows on our Doorstep
“P.J. Kennedy writes precise, tough-minded, finely wrought poems that explore without sentimentality Irish rural life in County Cavan and beyond. They are complex, very accurate and supremely accesible. They will give equal pleasure to readers who know the world the poet describes and to readers who know nothing of that world.” – Carlo Gébler
