In today's unstable world, where does the conversation about the future begin? In Estuary, his fifth collection of poems, diplomat and poet Philip McDonagh celebrates personal relationships and reflects on public affairs in ways that cross cultural and civilizational boundaries.
A common language of beauty, goodness, and hope gradually imposes itself.
Philip McDonagh renders the world anew - with a sanguine eye, an abiding love for the beautiful, and an ear always astonished
by the sound of something greater. Estuary unfolds as a bright and intimate paean to existence, inviting us to consider and reconsider our place in this vast phenomenon, 'where for an endless instant our lives cross'.- Nidhi Zak/Aria Eipe
Estuary is a book of marvellous things. McDonagh draws from deep wells, history, myth and memory and does so with an ear for song and lyric. His wandering spirit evokes landscapes and personalities in an elegiac and profound sense. Estuary is evidence of a deep engagement and faith in poetic form. -Joseph Woods
