‘With the publication of The Blue Falcon, Seán Mac Falls fully realized the promise of 20 Poems. In this new book Mac Falls shows himself to be the authentic, magical thing, a true poet – original and traditional. In a vast field of tone deaf, prosaic, unquotable versifiers he is above and one of those rare singers with a gift for metaphor and trope so authoritative that most of the others appear like interlopers. Here is a true believer in the primacy of the word. His poetry is numinous and outstanding with unmistakable fire and power and his use of language and imagery is striking. If Blake’s symbols fall and cut like daggers from God’s city, Mac Falls’s are more akin to ‘needles threading a trail of stars . . .” ISBN 10: 1-929812-06-X ISBN 13: 978-1-929812-06-6
