WINNER OF THE 2014 IRISH BOOK LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD<br><br><i>Cries of an Irish Caveman</i> is Paul Durcan''s most inspired and surprising collection of poems. Through four distinct sections, he brings his tender lyricism to bear on the themes of love and loss, life and death. <br><br>The first section describes an experience in Australia which provides a starting point for reassessing his past relationships and loves. The second returns to Ireland, its people and places, the celebrated and the unknown. The third section is a meditation on his daughter''s marriage, placing within an historical and sacramental context a very personal event. <br><br>And finally, in some of his most daring and original writing, Durcan describes his own twentieth-century romance, replete with ecstacies and inevitable agonies, beauty and hope, but also brutality and self-abasement.
