″The Chosen Garden, O’Siadhail’s first book in five years, is a cumulative journey moving through schooldays, on to grappling with the commitments and anguish of idealism and to an eventual rerooting in love and responsibility. Testifying to the experience of a generation, it resonates with the classic motifs of adventure and return.

The Chosen Garden, represents a huge step forward for O’Siadhail. At once a spiritual re-enactment and an exorcism of the poet’s past life, the sequence rests assured in a controlled sensuousness of language and comes as near as poetry can, without being confessional, to conveying the overtones and textures of actual experience – Anne Stevenson.
