Review
'There is a language "in which the word for family/is also the word for departure", someone points out to Peter Sirr in his elegantly titled fourth collection, the Ledger of Fruitful Exchange...Absence also looms large in "A Journal", the long poem recording the break-up of a relationship which occupies the entirety of the book's second part. In keeping with its epigraph from Montale, this is often hermetic but never less than compelling, writing:
Unshakeably
the difficult words take root, brilliantly
flower in the waiting mouths.
It is Sirr's attention to both the difficulty and the brilliant flowerings of language that makes The Ledger of Fruitful Exchange a genuine breakthrough, and his most interesting collection to date.'
--Times Literary Supplement
'From the moment of opening The Ledger of Fruitful Exchange we know we are in the company of a real poet.'
--Metre
'Peter Sirr's The Ledger of Fruitful Exchange [is] a marvellous fourth volume, where he really makes an enormous psychic jump. Here you have the culmination of all his technical expertise, which he has been developing in his previous volumes, but this time cum corde, with a great infusion of heart. His style is very cool and almost American, and he does what the Americans do, but so much better than most of them.'
--Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Irish Times.
'The Ledger marks a great leap forward, placing Sirr at the forefront of the younger poets in these islands.'
--Irish Times

The Ledger of Fruitful Exchange (Gallery Books)
Seller: Kennys Bookstore, Olney, MD, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Very Good. 1995. paperback. It began in innocence, long ago. In 1970, in fact. On 6 February 1970 the first Gallery Book appeared ? a simple offering. Another followed, and another. People started to call me a publisher. There was no plan, no fixed aim (no money!). There was a hope, and it grew, bit by bit by bit. Over the years those fledgling impulses became a mission ? to launch and foster the careers of exceptional new writers, to assert and promote the dignity of the profession of writing, to demonstrate that we could produce and publish editions of poems and plays as well as anyone, and to provide a publishing home in Ireland for Irish writers. Now, forty years later, more than four hundred titles, marked by careful editing and simple, elegant design, record the achievement of Ireland?s outstanding established and emerging literary figures. The Gallery Press is recognized at home and abroad, along with the Cuala and Dolmen presses, as the pre-eminent publisher of Irish writing in the 20th century. It bears the same standards into a new millennium. .8vo. Very good copy in original wrappers. Irish Poetry. . . . . Books ship from the US and Ireland. Seller Inventory # KEX0277605
