Reviews
O'Loughlin remains refreshingly counter-lyrical to the dominant chord of pathos in much contemporary poetry. The engines of his poems are often fuelled by anger. He is a poet not just of language, but of strong opinion and ideas, and one with an international and political dimension. Liberty Hall is a welcome and brilliant addition to his work., Liberty Hall shows that O'Loughlin remains a disruptive thinker, disinterring platitudes, labels and nationalities. He is a quizzical intellectual, equally at home and displaced in all cultures. This allows him to write intimately about Dublin, while retaining an outsider's perspective when scrutinising fault lines in his family's and his country's history., Liberty Hall , however, is no travel guide. It finds O'Loughlin circling his own life and that of his family; the cities and countries he has called home; Europe as geographical and political construct and the expression of what a poetry collection can be.

Synopsis
Michael O'Loughlin was seven years old when the Irish trade union movement replaced its headquarters, Liberty Hall - the starting point of the 1916 Rising - with Ireland's first skyscraper. This bold, seventeen-story Liberty Hall expressed an aspiration towards the modernity which its builders envisaged as the birthright of future generations. Since then, as one of Dublin's most iconic buildings, Liberty Hall has cast a personal and political light on the lives of citizens passing below, and formed the backdrop to O'Loughlin's earliest childhood memories.In this remarkable new book - a highly original fusion of poetry, visual images, and prose memoirs - Liberty Hall becomes both a real and imaginary space, a physical building and a state of mind in which to be free; a place where the boundaries between verbal and visual, poetry and prose, past and present, city and suburb, local and global, all become fluid. It is a book of numerous journeys: the ritualized crossing of the Liffey from North to South and back again; travels around European cities; and into O'Loughlin's own family history in the first difficult century of the Irish state. He explores the emotional weather through memory, cinema, and architecture, arriving in the end at Liberty Hall., Michael O'Loughlin was seven years old when the Irish trade union movement replaced its headquarters, Liberty Hall - the starting point of the 1916 Rising - with Ireland's first skyscraper.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
