The fourth full-length collection of poems by Irish poet Patrick Cotter Quality Control at the Miracle Factory reflects the dark times of its writing, moving with unease through the world. Injustice and brutality are faced unflinchingly while the miracle of survival and endurance is credited and marvelled at, wherever it might occur

Reviews

The High Window March 2025 by Colin Carberry

"Filled with closely observed, constantly arresting and truly original and powerful images and themes, the poems in Quality Control in the Miracle Factory are of an unusually high calibre, such as one seldom finds. And, unlike much of today’s verse, they make you feel as well as think."
