In Seán Gaffney's fifth suite of poems he is presenting a mixture of prose and poetry in a strong and touching celebration of his son, Dara Gaffney, who at the age of fourteen was diagnosed with leukemia. Only a few months later Dara died from his disease.What is taking place here is an essential part of Seán's life, where he holds Dara within himself during the mourning process that simultaneously is a life process, in a recurring dialogue each year at Dara's birth and death days. A life journey with mourning as both a driving force and an emotional landscape.
