Margaret Nohilly

Washing Windows III anthology is representative of contemporary Irish literature, and of a new society and a new way of accepting and honouring the talent all around us.

Margaret Nohilly’s poetry covers a remarkable variety of subjects: observation of nature, a sense of place, family connections, town and country living, poets and artists. With a natural eye and ear for the poetic, Nohilly’s poems are finely tuned and carefully worked to achieve an intensity of sound. The ekphrastic poem, "La Sieste," with its descriptive exuberance illustrates her sense of intimacy. This stunning collection reflects the gravitas of a poet deserving of a wide readership.
