"A very fine debut collection, …of great sophistication and tact."

Irish Times, November 17, 2007

Advance praise for Preparing for Spring

A stingingly clear outdoor light illuminates Nell Regan's poems. She offers her readers the sweet shock of immediacy…Her vision is precise and forgiving… Preparing for Spring is an accomplished book which will delight readers who have already admired her work in magazines, and those to whom her voice is new.

…poems of a rare lyric beauty.
