In Patrick Cotter’s poems you’ll find a dong which has learnt to sing songs by Henry Purcell, a ghost which haunts the pissoir of a modern city centre pub, a man who waits until Judgement Day to take his own life; characters as various as these occupy brief narratives that weave in and out of sequences where Eros and elegy predominate.
Patrick Cotter is director of the Munster Literature Centre.
