It Says Right Here by Sean O'Brien, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A new poetry collection from Sean O'Brien, with his trademark lyricism, subversive and allegorical style. This new collection is a book of halves. The first half, It Says Right Here, is a series of poems on memory, time, and recurrence; shorter, viciously focused pieces on the current political nightmare; and pieces lay bare the current trials of mind like Sean's - expert, wise and literate - trying to navigate a post-content and post-intellectual world. All this forms a lovely acoustic anteroom to the long poem HAMMERSMITH - a psychogeographic journey through the haunted landscapes of London. It's a gripping, and at times semi-novelistic, navigation of the labyrinth of memory, with the looming dread of a contemporary apocalypse. All in all, It Says Right Here has the feel and grandeur of a contemporary version of a Blake prophetic poem. | It Says Right Here by Sean O'Brien, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
