The debut poetry book of the Irish-American writer Gearóid Ó Riain, Un/metabolized is over 140 pages long, written in five sections and more than four languages (English, Russian, Serbian, Irish Gaelic), is a single coherent work rather than a collection of poems, and explores themes such as trauma, sex, violence, dissociation, drug abuse, travel, and geopolitics. It is bold in both form and content, offering a rare level of insight into male trauma.
