Bric-a-Brac Trevor McMahon

Described by the poet himself as 'a kind of diary', this collection of poems by the noted Northern Irish writer Trevor McMahon is a poignant record of often painful points from his life. Love and loss permeate many of the poems, interspersed with observations from family life, other ways of life, the working day, farming, childhood and moments from history that have intersected the passage of McMahon's own life. The poems are emotional and accessible, often deceptively simple, yet always with a level of insight that makes you gasp a little to yourself as you read.
