Julie O'Callaghan

'Prophets is a narrative poem of sheer power

and conflicting voices tumble and echo almost to the point of destruction

one of Ireland’s best-loved sporting heroes

The Other Now by Catherine Ann Cullen Michael Schmidt Julie O'CallaghanCatherine Ann Cullens interests in folklore, myth and popular song are everywhere evident in the poems she has published over the past decade. Collected as A Bone in My Throat (2007) and Strange Familiar (2013), her poems are drawn to the narrative turns and dramatic twists of stories that tell us much about ourselves and on which our first efforts at making sense of the world are often based. The best of those earlier books is regathered here,
