Praise for Tall If:
“Tall If, Irwin’s sixth full-length collection of poetry, begins with a quote from Moby Dick, where Melville describes the ability of the mature mind to cast back into its experience: ‘Once gone through, we trace the round again: and are infants, boys, and men, and Ifs eternally.’ It is from here that the title of the collection springs: to be an ‘If,’ it seems, is to be endowed with the power of imagining both past and future. Coincidentally, this is the capability of the author as well, and this author in particular.”
—Andrew Allport, RATTLE
