Smithereens Press Chapbooks Atoll by Dylan Brennan | Page 26
From the unfathomable darkness
of a primordial ocean to the USMexico border river; from the
forsaken
inhabitants
of
Clipperton Island to circus
elephants swimming off the west
coast of Ireland; the twelve
poems of Atoll, with their tales of
community and abandonment,
are steeped in the waters of life
and death.
Dylan Brennan’s poetry and
prose have been published in a range of Irish and
international journals, in English and Spanish. His first
full collection, Blood Oranges, will be published in late
2014 by The Dreadful Press (thepennydreadful.org). He
has been shortlisted for the Fish Short Memoir Prize and
has taken part in the Poetry Ireland Introductions Series.
In 2015, his co-edited volume of essays on the work of
Juan Rulfo will be published by Legenda. He lives and
works in Mexico. dylanbrennan.org
