The Death Poems: Songs, Visons, Meditations explores death in a range of forms - celebratory, visionary and contemplatively, using subject matter as varied as the dust heaps of remains that accumulated in 19th century London to the environmentally toxic ship graveyards at Alang in India. Formally dazzling, Beirne's complex and textured meditations are sobering, spiritual and, in the end, sustaining.
