Riassunto

“One of the most gifted—if not the most gifted—of the post-War generation of Irish poets, Medbh McGuckian’s new book is a masterpiece of psychic map-making. Her latest journey to the ‘Inland’ of her distinctive poetic world is full of the pencil-marks of invaluable loci, astonishing encounters, whirlpools of inner thought, of Irish desolation and worldly, linguistic redemption. Read this book, treasure it, let it make waves as it pulls you into the McGuckian inlands.” Thomas McCarthy

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Medbh McGuckian was born in Belfast in 1950, where she now lives with her husband and four children. A graduate of The Queen’s University Of Belfast with B.A. and M.A. degrees in English, she was the first woman to be named writer-in-residence in that university, where she now regularly teaches.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

In an elaborate collage of themes, such as death, writing, nature, and love, Medbh McGuckian's new volume shows how failure, loss and the play of seasons and light are the subjects of her inward journey of creativity and spirituality. McGuckian’s poetic has always been self-reflexive and introverted, celebrating the aesthetic of language while mistrusting linguistic representation. My Love Has Fared Inland, as Borbala Farago writes in the Irish University Review, is “like a black hole: it reveals its inner core through interaction with its readers. And once they get too close, they might as well let it take them in.”
