Book Synopsis

Songs for Ireland is the third publication from Irish experimental writer and audio-visual artist, Robert Herbert McClean, following his debut poetry collection, Pangs! (Test Centre, 2015) and his prose chapbook, Skrubolz Garbillkore (Book Works, 2018).

Songs for Ireland is an experimental, interdisciplinary work, drawing on McClean's practices as writer and artist film-maker. It is a motley hybrid of voices and modes that satirically styles itself as a cartoonish call and response, a polyvocal tech startup melodrama, a Wi-Fi, Sci-Fi comic hallucination.

Exploding the boundaries of the form and style of traditional poetry collections, Songs for Ireland is a radical rethinking of poetic practices, characterised by its energetic humour and McClean's unique, distinctive, idiosyncratic voice.
