Rapture's Road by Seán Hewitt

mysterious reflective fast-paced

4.0

Better than Tongues of Fire; more varied. The poems here are broken off and unresolved, lending them a ghostly and dreamlike quality. It can be a little frustrating sometimes, and I was left wanting more from some of these poems, but I suppose that’s the nature of dreams, isn’t it? I think it works well. It’s hard to pick out favourites because this broken-off format kind of weaves the poems together into a single disjointed work, but I was particularly fond of “Like a feather,” “Sleepwalk,” “Mistletoe,” and “Immram.”
