Tongues of Fire by Seán Hewitt
3.0
reflective medium-paced

Earthy. Consistent quality but samey. In the end, it started to get on my nerves. Maybe I would have liked the titular poem if I’d encountered it by itself, but its placement at the end of this anthology reduces it to yet another tree metaphor. Beautiful imagery loses its lustre eventually.
