Medbh McGuickan sometimes writes her poems as if in a dream. Her ideas are transformed into natural objects (as in this poem: seeds). I have heard her described as "obscure" and "random", but I think that she is particular in the metaphors that she chooses.
I found an interesting quote about her in the Oxford Guide to 20th Century Poetry (edited by Ian Hamilton).
"McGuckian has described her territory as the feminine subconscious or semi-consciousness"
Many of her poetry explores nature and feminity, which are sometimes the same. (Blended and subtle.)
