Riassunto

Liz Dolan writes about the past with an eye and ear tuned to the poetry of the ordinary, unencumbered by the sentimentality of nostalgia, but filled with the emotion made from the real ties between people and their communities, their landscapes, their times. There’s loveliness here, the gritty kind, the sparse kind and the joyous kind, too. —Gerry LaFemina, author of The Parakeets of Brooklyn

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Sisters Aunt Tess sings Two Little Orphans, Her voice nasal, a drone, Echoing the winds of Slievenamon.My mother joins in softly, closes her eyes, too.I can hear the kindling crackling In the Kilcoo hearth. I wonder If they see themselves in the lament, Leaving their mother behind in widow’s weeds Starved by the winds from the Banks of the Bann, The water of the mountain rill spilling Past her cottage.
