Of Swans and Stars is the first book of poetry by Eyrn McConnell. It is separated into different sections, giving us a flavour of the different emotions of the writer at the time. I did enjoy the work, and could identify with several of the pieces. Poetry is a very personal reflection, and it is difficult to rate it as we do with a general book of fiction. Any lovers of poetry, I would recommend this book to. Anyone looking for a good book of poetry to start learning about the genre, I’d also recommend it. Well written, edited and formatted. I award 5 stars.
