Poems for Breakfast

The third collection by a very popular poet, one of Ireland's younger generation of women poets making her mark. Lyrical and imaginative, these are poems of memory, war, books, place, travel, and love, written with fine sensibility. Wyley's originality and strength lie in the immediacy and intimacy of love poems that achieve an overall credibility and universality. The poetry is experimental, hovering between a dream world and the real. She won the Vincent Buckley Memorial Award in 1996.
