No one could ever accuse Dublin-born poet Eamon Grennan of being conventional, and his latest collection "The Quick of It" shows why. Grennan, who divides his time between the west of Ireland and upstate New York, has produced an offbeat collection of untitled poems, all exactly ten lines in length. Images of nature and the human body dominate, but, as usual, Grennan - whose poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The New Republic and The Irish Times - keeps the reader on his or her toes with all sorts of startling visions. This is a challenging poetry collection that, because of the brevity of each work, can be explored and appreciated in small doses. (71 pages / $14 / Gray Wolf Press)
