Title: at home in the sublime
Review: this must be the most exhilirating first collection to appear in the last ten years. on every page there's sound and sense in abundance, words and rhythms that soar, plunge, effervesce like warm waves of feeling. donnelly's own way with the language holds the book togehter but the wide range of themes and subjects make it hard to say exactly what the whole book is "about" unless "life and how it is to be in it" still counts. and it probably should. because this book is full of delight at a time when i need that. at times the book's power is almost overwhelming so i recommend you read it slowly if you aren't at home in the sublime and read it repeatedly if you want to be.
