Paintings in galleries, artefacts on museum shelves, a variety of historical events, and found objects of all shapes and sizes – the latest collection of poems by prize-winning poet Pat Boran finds its inspiration far from the poet’s trademark starting point of autobiography. Instead Then Again looks resolutely outwards, the poet on an adventure of poem-making in various parts of Ireland, Italy, France, Cyprus and Spain ... at all times travelling light and without expectation, but discovering en route some of the unexpected connections between past and present, between our personal stories and our shared histories.
