"At the heart of Gerard Symth's entire oeuvre is an intriguing duality. He is an urban poet who emerged as an artist from the distinctive Dublin of Michael Smith's New Writers Press, yet his work over the years has accumulated all the characteristics of a compelling, Kavanagh-like, storytelling narrative method." So begins Thomas McCarthy's insightful introduction to this generous selection of four decades of Smyth's poetry in which his intimacy with his native city is balanced by a fascination with the wider imaginative world of Art, and by the outward and interior journeys he undertakes.
