Falling in Place Patrick O'connell First edition

Patrick O'Connell's second poetry collection resonates with the possibilities of dual perception, of the choices we can maked to define our relationship to the world. The poems speak of deliberation and intent, and chronicle the struggle in laying aside anger and hopelessness. Moving out from the darkest of corners, Falling in Place insists on the grace and elusive beauty of birdsong, the scent of rain, silence and the "pure white silk of the sky."
