About this title

Synopsis

Michael O'Leary's Selected Poems takes the reader through many and varied encounters with the world, both inner and outer. He writes of love and war, good and evil and several other states of mind and being that are always being altered by the ideas and people he encounters as he travels through life. There is a great variety of styles of poetry in this book, including two long and winding poems, one about Wellington City, the other about Hitler's architect, Albert Speer. Such are the wide and varied themes in O'Leary's explorations of the human psyche.
