All that Jazz

<i>All</i><i> that Jazz </i>brims with insight, empathy and wry humour. In his third poetry collection Gerry Boland movingly maps the territory of love found, shared and lost, while exploring what gives life meaning. These finely-crafted poems carry a particular and effecting fidelity to the rhythms of the human heart. <i>All</i><i> that Jazz</i> is intimate, natural, sometimes dark and often light. Reading these new poems feels like being invited to Gerry’s table as he sifts through relationships and comes out the other side. Mingling rural with urban, this collection is delicate, personal and resilient. Thoroughly enjoyable, one to read cover-to-cover and then over again.
