Something About: Poems

It has been said of P.J. Kavanagh that mysteries are a part of the everyday clothing of his mind, leaving his mind free to deal with realities. The poems in this collection celebrate small pleasures (cricket commentaries, blackbirds' songs) as well as the greater mysteries of enduring friendships, the unexpected force of religious images; the growth towards wisdom - above all, the sudden visitations of joy that transfigure the commonplace.
