{"product_id":"collected-poems-gerard-fanning","title":"Collected Poems Gerard Fanning","description":"From his first collection in 1992, Gerard Fanning established himself, in the words of Gerard Smyth, as a poet enduring “             almost by stealth …              forging a distinctive style that is striking for its originality.”              With understated formal elegance, Fanning’             s poetry has the cool and control of the Hollywood westerns he admired, dense with allusions to American music and contemporary cinema, and equally attentive to Ireland’             s eastern and western seascapes. These are poems which welcome and reward investigation, “             where hymn is an amalgam of flutter and whisper, where rhymes \/ fall in with their echo.”             This Collected Poems gathers the four books Gerard Fanning published during his lifetime—             Easter Snow (1992), Working for the Government (1999), Water \u0026amp; Power (2004), and Hombre: New and Selected Poems (2011)—             along with his final, unpublished collection, Slip Road, completed shortly before his death in 2017 and published here for the first time.
