Books by Micheal O'Siadhail

Both poetry and cultural history, this book offers a sustained reflection on modernity - people and movements - in poetic meter. Just as Dante, in his Divine Comedy, summed up the Middle Ages on the cusp of modernity, The Five Quintets takes stock of a late modern world on the cusp of the first-ever global century.

There is tenderness, intensity, and gratitude--which will resonate with all who know both love and loss.--Teresa Black "The Poetry Shelf, Midwest Book Review"
