SOS Poetry (2007)
Mairéad Byrne



85 Pages

Within hours of its release SOS POETRY was wreaking havoc with readers' sleep. Cathy Wagner checked her email just before bed & though she was completely wiped, eyeballs like raisins, read SOS POETRY straight through & laughed a lot & nodded a lot & went to bed with her eyeballs like GRAPES. The author's daughter said: "ok i need to go to sleep so im going to stop reading the book now. let me tell you though...it is great. im sitting here laughing and crying at the same time. i love you so much." Joseph Massey was more restrained: "This is wonderful. I'm perusing it now, as I type, while drinking some sort of mint tea -- pleasurable." Evie Shockley said: "you are totally on crack. : ) i'm laughing and cheering through my sleepless haze... ." And - proving that the effect lasted well into next day - Dodo said: "I spent a good part of the morning reading the book (When I should have been doing other things, but I was entranced)." Other encomia include:
