Jane Draycott on The Blue Guitar:
In these dynamic, musically-arcing poems Padraig O'Morain weaves his subtle, capturing narratives with the skill and relish of a natural story-teller. The poems in The Blue Guitar conjure all at once both the pathos of the individual human situation and all the echoes of the wider world beyond.

Alison Brackenbury on You've Been Great:
This is a quiet poetry, strong with the humours and occasional
horrors of country life, affectionate but never sentimental, its music grave and necessary as time.

Meg Peacocke on You've Been Great:
The power of these poems isn't to be underestimated: their apparent simplicity arises from well-digested experience and a habit of accurate observation. Not a word is wasted, but there is tenderness and humour here and a very good ear at work.
