"Allen Lee Ireland's 'Loners and Mothers' explores the complicated psychology of loners within an variety of contexts, their obsession with family, and their many means of escape what they perceive as a dark and frightening world. Like the wood in Frost's famous poem, Ireland's verse is 'lovely, dark and deep.' Yet through it all, there is respect for existence and an abiding concern for the individual life." -- back cover
