Brendan Connolly

The Sixth Lantern Brendan Connolly

Unpredictable, obscure, and ever intriguing, the autobiography of the prolific Dundalk poet is a genuine page turner, vividly illustrating journeys from brokenness to wholeness, while making sense of the world, one's role in it, and the point of existence. Although at times questioning, and doubtful of religion's role, and credibility, Connolly's journey of personal spiritualism brings him from apartment to eventual atonement with Creator, and creation. The Sixth Lantern demonstrates not only is Connolly a poet of great vision, and volume, but also a masterful, innovative writer.
