The Blue Cocktail by Audrey Molloy Louis De Paor Eva Salzman opens Women’s Work

Eva Salzman opens Women’s Work with a lively polemic

sometimes his own

down-to-earth utterance may be the norm

The Blue Cocktail by Audrey Molloy Louis De Paor Eva Salzman opens Women’s WorkAudrey Molloys collection, The Important Things, was shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize. Stephen Sextons citation noted, In this striking, moving, bold debut, Audrey Molloys poems move between Ireland and Australia, parenthood and daughterhood, and the sensual worlds of the body, its attendant desires and intensities. Beyond these essential forces, The Important Things, in all its formal elegance, is a book of grief too.
