DAVID NASH

No Man's Land (Dedalus Press) 2024 BUY HERE

It’s rare for a new voice in Irish poetry to appear as fully formed as David Nash’s does… formally inventive, philosophically challenging, and tonally distinctive.

— Nessa O’Mahony, Poetry Ireland Review

An auspicious and powerful debut – exuberant, original, comforting.
— Paula Meehan

Nash’s intimate and imaginative exploration of flora and fauna sounds the alarm for global loss of language, knowledge and wilderness while expressing the miracle of each seed and the gamble of chance.

- The Irish Times

A lyric reckoning with the rural landscape of home, by a queer Irish poet returning quietly bereft to County Cork, and deploying a dizzying formal inventiveness to take in what was once familiar.
