Stories of the Wandering Moon

Stories of the Wandering Moon sings us into the frolicsome, unsettling, glittering world of love's game lost and won. Tom Mac Intyre's narrative sequence of poems invites us to follow his lover from country to country, spiralling from level to level of the love experience: from hesitant awakenings to early rapture, from joy possessed to bruised self-awareness and parting. And behind his intoxicating celebration of passion's embrace there lurks the pursuing shadow of aduain, the Gaelic evocation of the lonesome, the strange, the eerie, the unfamiliar.

Tom Mac Intyre was born in Cavan in 1931. He has written six books of poetry as well as many plays for the Abbey Theatre
