AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Squeezing Desire Through a Sieve is MTC Cronin's poetical foray into the everydayness of law and literature. This is where metaphor becomes a matter of life and death and where love, language and desire grapple with the legal and bureaucratic systems which overlay and attempt to govern even our most intimate moments. We may live in the 'shadow of the law' but these unique morsels of prose shine a new kind of light on the jurisprudential decisions which affect us all.' (Source: Publisher's blurb)
