Nuala NÃ­ ChonchÃºir
In the tapestry that is ,The Juno Charm,, award-winning writer Nuala NÃ­ ChonchÃºir explores the worlds of two marriages - one waning, one waxing - and the pain of pregnancy loss and fertility struggles. This is an intimate book where the reader is taken by the emotional resonance of the poems, as much as by the exploration of the use of amulets and charms. The poems travel comfortably from County Galway to Manhattan's skyscrapers, and from the Seine in Paris to Dublin's Liberty Hall. NÃ­ ChonchÃºir once again employs her signature sensual frankness in poems of love and the body. Sometimes irreverent, always vivid, this is poetry ripe with imaginative possibility and wit.
