‘These three fine and finely-produced books all maintain the Gallery gold standard, representing different generations in the contemporary Irish canon. McAuliffe and Quinn, exiles in the UK and Czech Republic respectively, find common ground in their exploratioin and probing of geographical, cultural and psychic dislocations, whereas Montague is more content to create a luminous next of memories around the axis of himself.’
— James Harpur, reviewing Of All Places, Close Quarters and Speech Lessons in Poetry Ireland Review (106)
