'Eerily reminiscent of the late poet Stan Rice, Kirwan's words can almost be read as a sarcastic spiritual confession. A ruthlessly honest exploration of the human psyche, on one hand it seems a self-help book for the fabricated dishonesty of society, on the other it gives voice for those who have none. Humour is speckled through Kirwan's observations, refreshingly brash and unapologetic. Yet there is an unrelenting bleakness to his words, a bleakness all the more tangible because every sentence, every word, is true.' - Claire Fitzpatrick, poet, journalist
'The dark, acerbic world of Dominic Kirwan's second poetry collection may churn the stomach with its no holds barred content, yet in the same breath, can bring about air splitting laughter. It's smart for certain, but its heart stopping honesty will keep you coming back for that one more fix. Enter the catacombs if you will, but don't expect the mirror to be kind. It's far too pure for that.' - Anthony J. Langford, poet, film maker
