Louise C. Callaghan
Praised by Ireland’s leading literary critics… “a beautifully simple and familiar symmetry… Callaghan’s voice is
both aural and visual. In word-choice, cadence and line-break there is no sense
of straining for effect…delicate and at times deceptively fragile poems…” – Niall MacMonagle.
“…the
edge of humor, the understatement, luminously brilliant observation, and the
intellectual honesty…” – Macdara
Woods
Author of three volumes of poetry, Louise C. Callaghan was born in
Shankill, Co. Dublin. She edited a poetry anthology called Forgotten Light, which
presents poems centered on the subject of memory (the proceeds of the book
support The Alzheimer Society of Ireland).
Callaghan’s books of poetry are The Puzzle-Heart (1999), Remember
the Birds (2005), and In the Ninth House (2010), all
published by Salmon Poetry.
