Irish poet and singer James Simmons has been much praised for his 'atrocious honesty' (Irish Times), for being 'humane, entertaining, honest' (TLS) and 'tender, sensual, totally unromantic and totally honest' (Adrian Henri). P.J. Kavanagh, writing in the Guardian, called him a 'dangerous truth-teller, with a cool, factual tenderness, the like of which I have seldom seen done better, and seldom seen at all'. This new, large selection includes poems from nine previous books, including Judy Garland the the Cold War, Constantly Singing and From the Irish.
