"Poised on the Edge": I would have been a pharaoh/to your Nile, a sunbeam to your cist/a button on your belly tying up ends/in my beginnings, fits, and enterprises.//I could go for days on your breathings/But to end all that I stand here/poised on the edge of waking/ready for a drought.

Product Description:
Cashman is the founder of one of Ireland's leading literary and cultural publishing houses, Wolfhound Press. The new poems in this collection reflect Cashman's sense of place and of the spiritual groundings of daily life characteristic of his early poems. Secrets, a sequence of thirteen poems written following a visit to Palestine, are passionate responses to contemporary political tragedy, abuse of human rights, and love of homeland. Poems in section two, Opening Doors, dance between childhood, and parenthood, catch glimpses in mirrors and are `Flying skies'. Here are accessible, confident poems by a poet whose lyrical voice captivates. In a sure, measured voice, Cashman shows that natural beauty and family affection are the same in Jerusalem and Portmarnock."" --Booklist.""A deftly written and highly recommended peice of poetry.""The Midwest Book Review
