Vona Groarke's fifth collection contains love songs and poems of desire, poems of adherence and of doubt that slip between the "away" of America or England, and the West of Ireland or the remembered "inland fields" of home. True to the Times Literary Supplement's note of her "precise observation and deftly interwoven threads of thought", this book culminates in a title sequence that glimpses a Connemara landscape, attending to its wildflowers and rituals, its weather and tides, concluding that "it is all a kind / of love song, really". Spindrift has garnered a Poetry Book Society recommendation.
