Housekeeping for Hallions is a guide to living with less effort and more intent. The word hallion is of unknown origin; in Ireland the term refers to an affable character who may be slightly chaotic, yet undeniably charming. Hallions are not given to depending on what other people think. They may be dishevelled or disorganised and live in a state of disorder by choice -- kind to nearly everyone, content to live alone up a long lane with nearly nothing but ideally without a cross bank.
Des Donnelly is an Irish poet born, raised, and residing in Co Tyrone. His writing life has moved between the factual, the technical, and the imaginative -- each mode sharpening his attention to how language stores meaning, distorts it, and occasionally breaks under its own weight. His work is guided by a framework he calls creative gravity: the archive is not a collection but a curvature, where each piece alters the shape of the whole and nothing is ever wasted.
