'Mc Dermott's evocative and
understated poems together with his strong
narrative voice resonate long after the
reader has finished with the words'
Jan Fortune-Wood Coffeehouse Poetry
'The elegant simplicity of the poetry
hides the threatening dark night of the soul
that underscores much of his work'
David Trame c/o Orbis magazine
"My
writing is the fruit of an observer's life
translated into thought. In these poems I
travel the inner and outer worlds,
ruminating on the ordinary and attempting to
access the extraordinary behind it. Many of
these poems are short but I would like to
think that they expand in the mind of the
reader leaving much food for thought."
Robert McDermott
