A tour of your country

the long version

"Eamonn Wall probes and meditates on the histories, habitations, landscapes and ecologies of ancestral and newly-encountered places. A Tour of Your Country takes the reader from the American West to the Arctic to Wall's native Wexford, and to some spaces in-between. Throughout, the poems record and explore the finely-tuned tension that exists between the road and home, between routs and roots, and between the physical world and how poets have been conditioned to observe and represent it."--Jacket.
