The Solace of Artemis
Patterns and patterning — cellular, celestial, social, political and personal — spin and weave through Paula Meehan’s new collection of poems. From the mythic to the mundane, her attention is given over to the examination of interconnected lives — her own, the lives of her family, the human ecology of her native Dublin. As well as a decade’s worth of new poems, The Solace of Artemis and integrates her sequence Museum (2019), commissioned for the Dublin Tenement Museum, and For the Hungry Ghosts (2022), her poem cycle responding to the Hades episode of Joyce's Ulysses.
