Description
After the Riot' is both elegaic and defiant. The poems begin by revisiting a Belfast doorway where 'no-one has kicked the carpet dust in forty years', then open out to explore themes of migration, displacement, war, legacies of violence and loss but - ultimately - regeneration. These are poems as snapshots that unravel stories; they are acutely concerned with the struggle to extricate memory from myth-making as personal and political histories collide.
