For hundreds of years, there has been a legend in Tobar Dubh that somewhere nearby is the desiroscope -- a wishing well at the end of a long, dangerous tunnel. But this isn't an ordinary wishing well; it's the well that the salmon of knowledge came from, and it gives you not what you wish for, but what you truly desire.

`Schmidt is always a stringent poet, never shy of painful truth' - HelenDunmore, The Observer
In his review of Schmidt's Selected Poems 1972-1997, Sebastian Barker said:`There is enough love, attention to detail and creative energy in Schmidtfor us to expect something astonishing from him in the future.'
That future has arrived. The Resurrection of the Body is a trulyastonishing book.
Liberated from the constraints of sexual ambivalence and formal strategies,these poems are the marvellous flowering of a unique, poetic intelligence.
`His work offers pleasure, argument and a complex expression of feeling' -James Sutherland-Smith, Poetry Review
