Product Description
Diarmuid Fitzgerald is a poet of place. In the Author’s Preface to his
second book, A Tousand Sparks, Fitzgerald says that he practices “going
to a place to see if it will inspire.” Te haiku and senryu in the first three
parts of his collection trace Fitzgerald’s odyssey from his homeland in
Ireland to Japan and back again.
Fitzgerald’s poems do not tend to jump out at the reader with particularly
striking images or unexpected word choices. Instead, they have a quiet
simplicity very much in keeping with the Zen philosophy he studied while
living in Japan
