On the Block - Signed [signed]

On The Block is narrative, lyrical poetry rising in an arc of tracers from life in New York and Dublin, as well as travels in the South Seas. McNulty's insights into the details of life bring us closer to a real understanding of the immigrant mind. The dual American-Irish vision imprints itself indelibly, and becomes the untold story within each poem. On the Block is a worthy successor to McNulty's first collection Rough Landings. It has the unity of a journey seen in strong detail that crosses between bright and dark like "slats across the eyes".
