-- Negotiating the borders and hinterlands of Central and Eastern Europe, the homesick 'flaneur' surveys the surrounding devastation with the same mixture of fascination and alarm he feels when he discovers the sweat-mark on his T-shirt makes a perfect map of Ireland. The poems in Black Moon (Cape), Sweeney's latest collection, are parables of threat and parties for the end of the world; they speak eloquently of damage, displacement and the resulting swell of terror. --
