- Summary:
- "Care" is the debut collection by Cork-based poet Jennifer Horgan. Through her work born of personal experience and characterised by arresting imagery, Horgan calls on us to reconcile and to unite - to care. This is a hopeful collection, intent on championing the goodness in people, deftly highlighting our propensity towards kindness and away from hate. Care is a hand stretched across whatever it is that divides us, extended with a delicacy of spirit and unwavering hope.
