Pre-order *Menagerie* HERE from Books Upstairs.

My new poetry collection Menagerie is out 31st March from Arlen House.

Here’s what poet Patrick Chapman has to say about it:

‘Celebrated as a novelist with a lyrical style, Nuala O’Connor has always been a quietly showstopping poet as well. In Menagerie, we are struck by the compassion with which she reaches back into memory to hold hands with the lost. And even as she reflects that “there is no happy ever after, only once upon a time”, she takes us vividly into the places where those two points fleetingly connect. Fired with a rare imagination, Menagerie is playful, spry, and rich in myth. Here is a true poet, one with a storyteller’s eye.’ Patrick Chapman
