A collection of poems that explore language and sound and how they relate to meaning, to poetry and to a sense of belonging.

"Sean MacGinty's debut collection contains poems that have a strong rhythmic flow, a vivid sense of place, in particular the evocations between South Africa and South America, and some penetrating comment about the way people live their lives. The poems communicate a very personal overview of his own experiences and insights, with subtlety, clarity and controlled emotion. It is an accomplished debut; a very unified though varied collection with great lyricism and descriptive power." Michael King

Sean MacGinty has worked in the education NGO sector in South Africa since 2014 and has an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Cape Town. He spent time living in South America and currently lives in Cape Town. Returning Signs is his debut poetry collection.
