SHIRLEY MCCLURE'S ORIGAMI DOLL: POETRY AS LIFE FORCE
"Shirley McClure’s poems are known for their unique interplay of humour and poignancy, ebullience and restraint, sassiness and tenderness. Her love poems convey passion and sensuality with distinctively light brush strokes. She invites the reader in with a conversational, relaxed style and brings a wry eye to everyday life, letting us see each other and ourselves with compassion... She herself spoke about the sonic influence of the hymns she sang as a child in St Patrick’s Presbyterian Church in Waterford as well as the spoken poetry she heard at home from her mother."
