| Publisher Description: Patrick O'Neill's verse with its wonderfully "everyman" characters brings so-called "common folks" to a literary immortality that demands his inclusion in the pantheon of old and new great poets. --Del Reitz, Ed/Pub Newsletter Inago O'Neill's use of language, pacing, and punch lines are equally sharp in three-line or three-page poems. He sets up a scene, then moves in for the kill with unflinching precision. --Diane Montz, Arts & Entertainment Writer Ironwood Daily Globe In Patrick O'Neill's poetry, inner monologues and outer dialogues fold into episodes-vignettes of everyday living. He sprinkles his poems with gentle treatments of the wisdom of animals, the revelations of plants. His poetry is a veritable kaleidoscope of highly interesting slices of life. His empathic style touches the reader's heart-felt spirits while his offbeat wit and subtle irony produce provocative revelations. --Tom Bruneau, Professor Emeritus, Radford University |
