«The Poems of Dorothy Molloy» is Dorothy Molloy's poetry collection, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (296 pages, in English).
A compilation bringing together Dorothy Molloy's poetry: her two collections Hare Soup and Gethsemane Day, the manuscript Long-Distance Swimmer and unpublished material. Her verses blend black humour, irony and sensuality to portray the hypocrisies of the family and the Catholic Church, as well as corruption and abuse in private spaces.
The Irish poet died in 2004, four days before copies of her first collection, Hare Soup, arrived; this edition brings her poems together in a single volume.
For readers of contemporary poetry in English, interested in Irish lyric poetry and in female voices that approach the domestic from a critical and uninhibited perspective.
