About This Book
‘With the publication of The Blue Falcon, Seán Mac Falls
fully realized the promise of 20 Poems. In this new book
Mac Falls shows himself to be the authentic, magical thing,
a true poet – original and traditional. In a vast field of
tone deaf, prosaic, unquotable versifiers he is above and one of
those rare singers with a gift for metaphor and trope so authoritative
that most of the others appear like interlopers. Here is a true
believer in the primacy of the word. His poetry is numinous
and outstanding with unmistakable fire and power and his use
of language and imagery is striking. If Blake’s symbols fall and
cut like daggers from God’s city, Mac Falls’s are more akin to
‘needles threading a trail of stars . . .”
