MacWeeney’s work is notable not only for its breadth of subject matter, but also for the wide range of emotion it so sensitively conveys. Lush landscapes, grimy streets, adults, children, and animals are all examined through MacWeeney’s lens, with overtones varying from warm and nostalgic to somber and forlorn.
