Broken Songs is Owen O’Neill’s third volume of poetry and stories. He has lost none of his energy or heart, or sense of the ridiculous. His writing is highly personal with a raft of real-life characters leaping from the page.

O’Neill’s writing is from the gut, he’s really washing his emotional underwear in public.
TORONTO SUN

O’Neill has a secure handle on macabre humour, whilst also being able to weave between the banal and the ludicrous.
BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

O’Neill’s writing is always riveting without being sensationalised or overdramatic. There is a smell of truth about it.
ON STAGE SCOTLAND

O’Neill’s writing manages to be earthy, humane and surreal with an acute sense of the absurd.
