Reviews"Tom Paulin is among the best of a great generation of Irish poets."--The Sunday Telegraph "Paulin writes an extraordinary language, even when he's not inventing words or exhibiting some unsuspected prize from the hoard of Irish English."--Guardian "An original and challenging voice. . . . Ghosts, living and dead--from Chagall to Verlaine, from Lucan to Larkin--haunt these pages, but of all these figures, James Joyce casts the longest shadow. Paulin's improvisatory, allusive, pun-filled, occasionally baggy style owes much to the great novelist. . . . [His] meditations on the nature of Irish identity are sinuous and profound."--Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisTo find out more information about Rowman & Littlefield titles please visit us at www.rowmanlittlefield.com., The 'wind dog' is a broken rainbow, but, in the title poem of Tom Paulin's sixth collection, it provides this most agile of poets with a perfect bridge into childhood and its 'lingo-jingo of beginnings'. The poem is a gloriously singing meditation on the life of the ear - 'the only true reader' - and the meaning and music of both words and pre-verbal sounds are a recurring theme in this rich, cogent and prosodically adventurous volume., Tom Paulin's latest poetry collection is his first offering in five years. The wind dog is a broken rainbow; here it serves as a bridge into childhood where the primacy of the ear - the only true reader - and the music of words is both demonstrated and celebrated.
