Sea Cabinet
Caitr ona O'Reilly's poetry is remarkable for its precise observation of the natural world. Her title-poem conjures the vanished world of the whaling industry, and serves as a starting-point for other acute meditations on natural and cultural obsolescence. Her second collection, The Sea Cabinet, broadens that clear-sighted vision in poems also haunted by history, consolidating the achievement of her prizewinning d but volume, The Nowhere Birds.
Caitr ona O'Reilly's first collection The Nowhere Birds won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, given for the best book by any new Irish writer published in 2001. Yet the habitual concerns of the lyric self are present too, in poems which enact the dilemmas and anxieties of the individual amidst a rapidly changing environment. Her third collection Geis won the Irish Times Poetry Now Award
