Imagine That!

Imagine That! is a book of poetry that brings simplicity, variety, nostalgia and joie de vivre through its poetic contents while environmental concerns provide the background for some of its compositions in a gentle, thought-provoking manner. A range of poetic forms are explored, from the simple ballad and inviting performance pieces to the startling shape-poem with a mathematical flavour – a fascinating mix. There are even occasional forays into Spanish translations. How cool is that! Nos molan mucho! In this, his first full publication of poetry, Neil Hallinan also gives personal reflections which abound with their significant sense of his pastoral background in the south of Ireland. Participation in the West Waterford Arts Group has been the spur for many of his creative efforts. Above all, there is a sense of fun and exuberance. These poems are a delight and ready to be thoroughly enjoyed.
