"Ciaran O'Driscoll's poetry is sharp, lively and intelligent. He chooses subjects because he finds them intellectually interesting and so goes well beyond the standard Irish autobiographical mode. However he can write with passion too, with anger as well as acceptance, with a witty edge to grief, with humour and love"
