Some Other Where (Paperback)

'Some Other Where' is about steps and missteps, disconnection, and connection, both in relationships and between ourselves and the world. Matthews's poems, which have been described by Bernard O'Donoghue as 'life enhancing,' embody those sudden jolts when we see our lives differently. Work here touches on the climate crisis, on how the ancient past speaks to our present lives, and on moments glimmering with the extraordinary and the sacred.
