Beautiful tender poems, rich in many ways: in O'Connell’s unique linguistic turns, where ‘hymns’ can be ‘conducted / by spiraling arcs of Spitfires’; in detailed imagery and its expression, whether the serenity of a single flower petal or the incessant shifting in a cityscape; in its unflinching observation of the ties that bind. Change whistles through these flawlessly-musical lines, wherein ‘ emotions / are gathered with the fruit to savour / through the cold’... Timelines has a vital energy that I know will draw me back to it.Anne Stewart Editor poetrypf
