A Signalled Love

D.W. Hartnett's first collection introduces a poet with an assured voice and a strong and subtle technique. His poems deal with the fragility and tenaciousness of our relationships, both with others and with the natural order, in the present and the past. These evocative, many-layered poems delve beyond the privacies of thought and feeling on which they are founded; they continually open windows onto a wider world of experience.
