Michael longley è stato definito "uno dei migliori poeti lirici del nostro tempo". Nel mettere insieme il lavoro di quarant'anni, la sua raccolta di poesie mostra un risultato brillantemente sostenuto la cui profondità, bellezza e arguzia possono ora essere pienamente apprezzate. La poesia di longley unisce un'intensa concentrazione a una notevole varietà. La gamma formale e tematica stabilita in no continuing city (1969) ha subito una serie di ricche metamorfosi fino a snow water (2004) e alle due poesie incluse qui come epilogo. I generi di longley spaziano dalla poesia d'amore, alla poesia di guerra, alla poesia sulla natura, alle elegie, alle satire, alle epistole in versi, alle poesie che riflettono sull'arte e sull'arte della poesia. Ha esteso la capacità della lirica di assorbire la materia oscura: la grande guerra, l'olocausto, i "troubles" dell'irlanda del nord. Il suo paesaggio poetico mescola belfast (dove vive), l'irlanda occidentale, l'italia, il giappone e la grecia omerica. Le superbe traduzioni di longley di poeti classici (come "ceasefire", che saluta il cessate il fuoco dell'ira nei termini dell'iliade) affrontano temi contemporanei, attivando al contempo le fonti più profonde della poesia europea.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Michael Longley has been called 'one of the finest lyric poets of our time'. In assembling the work of forty years, his Collected Poems displays a brilliantly sustained achievement whose depth, beauty and wit can now be fully appreciated. Longley's poetry combines intense concentration with remarkable variety. The formal and thematic range laid down in No Continuing City (1969) has undergone a series of rich metamorphoses up to Snow Water (2004), and the two poems included here as an epilogue. Longley's genres span love poetry, war poetry, nature poetry, elegies, satires, verse epistles, poems that reflect on art and the art of poetry. He has extended the capacity of the lyric to absorb dark matter: the Great War, the Holocaust, the Northern Irish 'Troubles'. His poetic landscape intermingles Belfast (where he lives), western Ireland, Italy, Japan and Homeric Greece. Longley's superb translations from classical poets (such as 'Ceasefire', which greets the IRA ceasefire in terms of the Iliad) speak to contemporary issues while activating the deepest sources of European poetry.
