A Wide River Divides Us opens with acute recollections of a working class childhood caught between terror and domesticity in 1970s Derry/Londonderry. A compelling shift of perspective takes the poet out of the tight cityscape and into wider, often watery worlds, where she reckons with the past and with herself. An accomplished and distinctive collection.
