A Lick and a Promise is the captivating debut poetry collection by one of Ireland's most celebrated female musicians, Imelda May. Building upon the success of her first poetry EP, Slip Of The Tongue, released in 2020, this remarkable collection comprises 104 poems, featuring two each from her father and young daughter. Delving into themes such as Breast, Below, Blood, Eyes, Tongue, and Temple, May's poems are written in her captivating, visceral style, encapsulating a range of emotions, including heartbreak, sex, nature, and womanhood. Among the standout pieces in the collection is the powerful poem "You Don't Get to be Racist and Irish," which was written in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and has recently been utilized by the Rethink Ireland campaign. This paperback edition, following the hugely successful sold-out hardback edition, showcases a bespoke cover design illustration by Imelda, accompanied by pen and ink drawings that complement selected poems. A Lick and a Promise is a testament to May's poetic prowess and offers a profound exploration of the human experience through her unique and captivating lens.
