The Laughter of Mothers (leatherbound edition) - Hardcover
These poems commemorate his mother as Paul Durcan remembers her playing golf, reading Tolstoy, and initiating him in the magic of the cinema. He recalls her compassion and loyalty when he was committed to a mental hospital in adolescence and how she endured the ordeal of her old age.

Review:
Paul Durcan was the recipient of a Cholmondeley Award in 2001 and is the author of more than 20 collections of poems, including The Art of Life; Daddy, Daddy, winner of the Whitbread Award for Poetry in 1990; and A Snail in My Prime.
· "Paul Durcan's Ireland is the one we inhabit. At times he is ready to celebrate the bizarre and the ordinary; at other times he is full of a surreal rage against both order and disorder." --Colm Toibin, Times Literary Supplement
