Reviews for this Book

"'This is the life we get. There is no other one. We have to face the challenges we meet.' This hard-bought wisdom is the prize captured by author, Rosaleen Glennon, through facing her own challenges and moving beyond them to a different life. Facing down a bout of breast cancer was one of them. Appreciation of how good life is jumps from the pages of No Spare Life, a diverse collection of poetry, memoir and prose ... Rosaleen documented her life experiences as she met them and she has shared these in the pages of No Spare Life. Her beautiful writings speak to anyone who is facing challenges, whether from physical or mental ill-health or something else. Her works speak of resilience and hope and a willingness to change and evolve when it is needed. The brightly coloured cover of No Spare Life looks ahead to spring that is coming, just as Rosaleen's writings look ahead to a new life and to seeing nature and the world through eyes that relish their wonders. It is a celebration of life by a gifted writer." – Northside People, 24 May 2017

"No Spare Life by Rosaleen Glennon is a deeply human, richly humane, wise and deliberately diverse collection of poems, memories and reflections about a journey through cancer: a voyage that none of us would ever wish to face but which so many thousands of people have to undergo when they find themselves being suddenly hijacked away from their busy lives and having to confront a new lexicon of medical terms and complex fears that they will struggle to make sense of." – Dermot Bolger, novelist and playwright, from the Introduction to this volume
