Rick O’Shea: The new book I’ll recommend to everyone I meet... and more poets who write stunning proseThe Alternatives by Caoilinn Hughes is full of images and ideas that will stop you in your tracksCaoilinn Hughes, author of The AlternativesRick O'Shea Today at 02:30I feel a unique anticipation when there’s a new book due from a writer whose work I especially love. It can be someone I’ve read all my life or a new author on their second novel, it doesn’t matter. If it falls flat, I’ll be in low-grade mourning for a little while, even if I know I’ll read the next book in case this one was a blip.
