The Dirty Dozen, with David O'Meara

David O’Meara is the author of A Pretty Sight (Coach House Books), an ambitious poetry collection that aims to tackle the exploration of culture, art, war, rebellion and technology. And David, whose poetic résumé boasts a seat on the Griffin jury and multiple awards, rises to the occasion. A Pretty Sight has garnered praise from critics and fellow poets alike. Simon Armitage says of the collection: "This is proud, felt and affecting work — I can’t think of many other poets so prepared to engage and so equipped to succeed."
