A number of the poems also appeared in A Shiver (Clutag, 2005). 'Anything Can Happen', along with a short essay and several translations, was included in a publication with that same title (Amnesty/Town House, 2004). 'Tall Dames' is adapted from 'A Gate Left Open', a programme note for the Dublin performance of Janácek's 'Diary of One Who Vanished' (Gaiety Theatre, 14–16 October, 1999). 'On the Spot' was commissioned by Maurice Riordan and John Burnside for their anthology, Wild Reckoning (Picador, 2004). 'Saw Music' appeared in The Door Stands Open (Irish Writers' Centre, 2005).
'The soul exceeds its circumstances' (p. 56) is quoted from Leon Wieseltier's appreciation of Czeslaw Milosz, New York Times Book Review, 12 September 2004. The lines quoted in 'To George Seferis in the Underworld' are from his poem, 'On Aspalathoi', translated by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard (Complete Poems, Princeton University Press, 1995); the epigraph is from Roderick Beaton's George Seferis, Waiting for the Angel (Yale University Press, 2003).
