- Summary:
- Full and various, Anchored establishes Lorna Shaughnessy's range and power. From meditation on the landscape of the West of Ireland to the exploration of memories, personal or communal, treasured or pathological, to myths of sacrifice and betrayal, the various topographies are intimately connected by an authentic voice and feeling. The language is precise, on occasion subdued or suddenly adventurous...This is a book with shadowy depths and bright enlargements of our many worlds.-Eil,an N¡ Chuillean in. "Her free verse poetry is intensely personal and yet universal in its reach and impact."--The Midwest Book Review
