  • Thirst
    Michael Glover
    Michael Glover’s abundant ninth collection of poetry finds him adopting various guises in a range of places, mental and physical. In Ireland, he squares up to a rabble of indolently imperious sheep, those ’ragged kings and queens’ of a sequence of poems called Achill Soundings, all written in a cottage once owned by the Nobel-Prize-winning German novelist Heinrich Böll. In Dear...

In his new collection, the poet Michael Glover, in a suite of forty poems, not only writ...

  • Mistaking You for a Shower of Summer Confetti
    Michael Glover
    Mistaking You for a Shower of Summer Confetti, Michael Glover’s first book-length poem, is a reverie by turns casually whimsical, oblique, impassioned, mocking and dismissive. The speaker addresses an absent partner, trawling through their lives together, asking questions that will forever remain unanswerable about places, incidents and people that drift into his consciousness....

  • 794 Mini Sagas
    Michael Glover
    There are many more words than you could ever wish to use! I taunt you with those words. I bellow them out into the air within your hearing in order to humiliate you. That is why you avoid me, because I burden you with so many words, heaping them upon your head, or flinging them after you as you hurry away from me, fine, well-turned, latinate, polysyllabic, Miltonic words of th...

  • What Turns Up
    Michael Glover
    Inspiration is an elusive beast. When you go looking for it, it hides. Turn your back, and it can jump out at you. The first poem in this collection was inspired by an image, snapped or staged, of three ordinary folk. It captures a fleeting moment in lives with complicated back stories. Further poems followed, from images real, or in the poet’s mind. In poems of a few lines, Mi...

    There is always a moment – it comes to all of us, irrespective of race, class, religion and all the other what-nots – when you take someone aside and point out everything – everything that has gone wrong. And there is always so much of it, and it takes hours, days, of patient recitation, probably from a book, because it is far too long and involved – like a twisty rope, left ou...

  • Hypothetical May Morning
    Michael Glover
    Michael Glover's writes a poetry whose surface can be lightsome and almost casually, if not beguilingly, playful and direct. But the playfulness can be a deception. Laughter dries on the tongue. There is often a terrible uncertainty about the speaking voice, and a darkness about the themes the poems are exploring. The darkness of betrayal. The darkness of death. The darknes...
