Mary Branley is a poet rooted in the West of Ireland and especially in her native Sligo. The poems are about crossing boundaries - physical as well as political. The poems are also about the tearing of roots and the subsequent readjusting to the treshold of loss.

Mary Branley is a new voice that leads us into clear spaces, missed connections, the gathering and the accepting of the age-old Irish ethos.
