First collection by one of Ireland's most distinctive new lyrical voices, winner of the Listowel Writers' Week Poetry Collection Prize. Her poems are rooted in rural life but universal in their appeal. The River was shortlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize 2016.

Jane Clarke's third collection is far-reaching and yet precisely rooted in time and place. In luminous language her poems explore how people, landscape and culture shape us. Voices of the past and present reverberate with courage and resilience in the face of poverty, prejudice, war and exile and the everyday losses of living. Across six sequences these intimate poems of unembellished imagery accrue power and resonance in what is essentially a book of love poems to our beautiful, fragile world. A Change in the Air follows Jane Clarke's widely praised previous collections The River (2015) and When the Tree Falls (2019).
