The title poem in this new collection records a journey to a graveyard where two lovers go to pay respects to their dead. Journeys and love are recurrent motifs as the book travels between its opening and closing elegies. The accuracy of the accounts, the movement -- akin to that of a train, whether old-fashioned or state-of-the-art -- is always stunning, and the thoughtfulness behind the poems is a welcome event in Irish poetry.
