Michael O'Siadhail is one of the premier modern poets whose publishings
I have read. His latest book 'Desires' is perhaps his finest work to
date. He took me the reader through the Covid-19 era through the eyes of
all. I found it brilliant, remembering details that I had already forgotten.

I had the pleasure of meeting him. His book 'Collected Poems' I didn't
enjoy much when I first read, but that's because I didn't understand the
message he was conveying (The book is about him and his wife's journey
with her terminal illness) Certain metaphors needed to be explained;
when that was done, I had a whole new understanding of certain aspects
of his poems. I was fortunate to have met with him.

That's great, but hopefully the poems can convey some of the meaning on
their own.
