Paperback. Condizione: New. Keats Lives is Moya Cannon's fifth collection of poems. Characteristically rich in the moods and rhythms of the poet's western Irish homeland, it is also drawn farther afield, towards contemplation of the disasters of previous centuries, their 'many victories, many collars, little grace'. 'What shift of bedrock, what metamorphosis,' asks the poet, 'might heal such wounded, wounding ground?' An answer is sought in the conversation - the conversion - between politics and ecology: precise, shell-like meditations on the natural world - snow drops and almond blossom, nights of summer thunder - are described with the same humane, delicate energy as warzones and prison camps. Between these extremes, and balanced by them, Homer and Achilles, Shakespeare and Cromwell, 'cattle-herders, butter-makers, singers, dancers' live out their 'sliver of the earth's time' by the same equalizing measure of mountains and forests, 'the gold-struck, mercury sea'. The collection unifies these pasts in the symbolic curia of the museum and library, from where so many of Cannon's poems take wing, pursuing objects beyond their material presence into their haunted pasts, objects that, to paraphrase the collection's closing poem, 'we have often seen before but have never heard'.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This sixth collection by one of Carcanet's most celebrated Irish poets gathers together lyric poems musing on history, on archaeology, geology and on the deep need of the human spirit to find expression in music and song.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In Moya Cannon's new collection, Hands, the commonplace is transfigured by an attentiveness that jolts us into wonder. The poems sing of deep connections: the impulse to ritual and pattern that, across centuries, defines us as human; a web of interdependences that sustain the 'gratuitous beauty' of the planet. Hands travels in time and space, mapping journeys we make as ageing, illness, and the deaths of parents shift our responses to our place in the fabric of the world, where we live in the grace of love and sunlight.

Paperback. Condizione: New. A Poetry Book Society RecommendationThis is a book of wonderings and wanderings. Many of the wanderings are on familiar territory explored on foot, the hills of Wicklow and of the Burren in Co. Clare, the shorelines of Dublin Bay, of North West Donegal, of Galway, Achill and the Aran Islands. Other poems bring us farther afield, to a French village on the banks of the Saône, to the Venetian Island of Torcello, to a sacred mountain lake in China. In these poems there is an alertness to the palimpsest of lives, human and non-human, lived in these places and the mystery of each individual life.The poems bear witness to our primal kinship with the natural world, a source of nourishment, joy and solace, but also to our disastrous, onrushing human conquest of that same earth and seas. The poem 'Bunting's Honey' is a tribute not only to those who composed and played early Irish harp music but also to those who collected the music and who, long after their own deaths, made possible a most remarkable renaissance of that same musical tradition. Similarly, 'The Glance', a meditation on Giovanni Bellini's astonishing painting of a Madonna in the Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice, is a gasp of wonder at how tenderness and trepidation can be conveyed by pigment and brush across five centuries.'A Technology' explores the quantum leap of literacy in allowing us, after so many millennia of human existence, to communicate details, not only of our outer lives, but also of our inner thoughts to those not immediately in our presence. 'Girls Trained in Beautiful Writing' considers the empowerments of literacy and the limitations imposed on that empowerment. There are other wonderings, not least the horrors of the wars of the twenty-first century, and the need to find a way to somehow set aside fear and difference and to give peace and tenderness a chance.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Moya Cannons new collection reaches back into the long past, showing how traces left behind - textile fragments, buried thimbles, cave paintings - enable us to make imaginative connections with our distant ancestors, emphasising the commonalities of human lives lived many centuries apart. At the heart of the book is the vital importance of art, as the means by which we give permanence to the fleeting moments of our lives; and our need for a connection to the natural world, even in the most mechanised of modern environments. As the train conductor in the title poem asserts, "Im going to get a T-shirt with / Keats Lives on it. This time of year, [ - ] when everything starts coming green again, / I always think of him - ".
