The Land of Give and Take Lamorna Elmer

The Land of Give and Take Lamorna ElmerIn The Land of Give and Take, Tyler Farrells second collection of poems, a variety of characters appear as on a stage: teenagers and grandparents, priests and poets, the wise and the foolish. Shadowing many of the poems is a conflicted Catholicism, sometimes resentful of the Churchs claims, but recognising that, in the end, nothing else gives the same weight and meaning to this transient life. There is morning and night to see through their eyes.
