About this book

This is a book built around a 3-piece title sequence as Michael Heffernan, now in his 70's, reflects on life from his own backyard. The poems venture outwards to take in the whole of Ireland, northern Michigan and the shores of the Great Lakes, even a tumbledown Parisian backstreet.
