This collection radiates beauty, honesty, and an authentic poetic voice that seems to overturn everything ugly in human experience. Tender portraits of family roots accompany a kaleidoscopic Strabane and touch on the anxiety of growing up in fraught political times.
"In The Last Spring of the World, her second collection with the Irish feminist publisher Arlen House, Maureen Boyle interweaves autobiographical prose with long poems in a volume full of insight into peculiarly Irish attitudes toward life and death. As with her first collection, The Work of a Winter, where she took on the voices of forgotten women and men, here Boyle bases her themes on her own experiences and on the lives of historical figures." -- Csilla Toldy, Harvard Review
