Eileen Carney Hulme's quiet presence in poetry becomes more and more compelling. The poems in
this new book The Space Between Rain sparkle throughout with a delicate philosphical light, and
tackle their subjects head-on to wrest from them their weather and atmosphere. It's a book for
re-reading, which more than fulfils the promise of Stroking the Air. Sally Evans, Poetry Scotland In The Space Between Rain Eileen Carney Hulme carves out a wealth of spaces - spaces for the reader to enter; spaces where small twists in events open up vistas to emotional and physical landscapes; spaces that hint at the strange and tease at the corners of perception. Beautifully understated, humane and lyrical, Carney Hulme's second collection is a long-awaited delight. Dr Jan Fortune-Wood, Cinnamon Press Eileen Carney Hulme weaves spells with her words. Her poems enchant with their delicately crafted imagery and sheer musicality. Hulme writes of morning souls and shamans, of heiroglyphs and fallen leaves; her territory is no less than that intimate space that defines us as being human. Nessa O'Mahony |
