      About the Book

      POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATION

      Dennis O'Driscoll's fifth collection contains poems in which his cool and unflinching vision lends a pungent originality to his treatment of love and death as well as to subjects as diverse - and improbable - as economic boom, business travel and Alzheimer's disease. By contrast, the book also contains more lyrical and personal poems, including the tender and evocative childhood sequence with which the collection ends. Weather Permitting' follows O'Driscoll's widely praised Quality Time' (1997) which contained his celebrated long poem, The Bottom Line', described by Alan Brownjohn in The Sunday Times' as devastatingly accurate, and scary'.

      Born in Thurles, Co. Tipperary in 1954, Dennis O'Driscoll works for Irish Customs in Dublin. Also well known as a critic, he contributes to Poetry Review', Harvard Review', the TLS' and many other journals in Britain, Ireland, the USA and Australia. As the Poet Said', a selection of quotations from his long-standing Poetry Ireland Review' column, was published in 1997.
