Description
Shape of the Heart sparkles with poems that take us from brain to heart, sometimes detouring to unexpected places (such as the bellybutton), but most often in a direct and delightful line.
Kevin Ireland’s words pop like seaweed pods, whether he is: honouring friendships – making sourdough bread – grinning at the weather gods – wondering why he slept in – circumnavigating childhood, ageing and death… or just having fun, which he does refreshingly often.
