Micheal O'Siadhail knows desire, love, trust and wonder, while at the same time facing suffering, tragedy and loss. His life has always been a yearning for meaning, and these four decades of poems work both head and heart towards a ripe wisdom.

His Collected Poems draws on thirteen collections, and includes a CD of him reading a selection of poems.
