A powerful meditation on memory, belonging, and lives shaped in silence. The Drift of Memory traces the journeys of women who crossed seas, raised families, and carried histories in their bones. Through poems of resilience, faith, loss, and quiet defiance, Dermot Murphy honours a generation whose stories echo far beyond their time and place. A deeply humane collection exploring memory, migration, and resilience across generations. These poems trace everyday lives shaped by faith, grief, and love. Dr Marc Scully, academic and writer on Irish identity These poems honour the lives of women who crossed seas and shaped families. Rich with emotional truth, they evoke legacies and longing with lyrical grace. Dr Eamonn O'Neal OBE DL, broadcaster and journalist A beautiful tribute to the women who carried 'home in their voices.' I found it very moving and left a tear on every page. Sean Cooney, songwriter and member of the Young'uns Emotionally rich and thematically coherent, these poems hold space for collective experience with tenderness and quiet authority. Isabelle Kenyon, author and founder of Fly on the Wall Press
