Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Dedalus Press series of budget pamphlets presents works by major voices in world poetry. Inger Christensen (1935 - 2009) was one of Denmark's best-known poets and was widely celebrated throughout Europe and the United States. She wrote several volumes of poetry as well as novels, plays,… children's books and essays, winning many major European prizes and awards, including the prestigious Nordic Prize in 1994. Butterfly Valley is a tour de force, exploring the major themes of life, love, death and art. The form is simple yet complex, a sequence of fifteen sonnets building to a final sonnet of extraordinary power composed of lines taken from the preceding fourteen sonnets in the sequence. Life, love, art, all are transient - like the butterfly - yet beautiful, even in their ephemerality. The translator Susanna Nied is a former insructor of English and comparative literature at San Diego State University in California. Her translation of Inger Christensen's alphabet won the 1982 ASF/PEN Translation Prize. The Dedalus Press series of budget pamphlets presents works by major voices in world poetry.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Much of Sudden Light, Irish poet Enda Wyleys 6th collection of poems, takes place in the centre of her native Dublin where the poet lives. Views and glimpses of the immediate city, both as foreground and background, as well as interactions with its inhabitants, comprise the daily exchange o…f life and create the sense of a present moment balanced on the citys various layers of personal and shared history. Many of the poems respond to a wide range of paintings, from Janet Mullarney to Luca Signorelli, and photography is also an inspiration as if memory were a kind of picture-taking or -making the job of the passing poet to observe, to record, and to move on.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Brink opens with its title-poem and it stays on the brink of various worlds and conditions throughout. Most crucial is the brink between life and death, each of which is seen from the perspective of the other as in the great five-part sequence Republic, showing how death is interwoven into…life. But, precarious as the brink is, the unyieldingly sympathetic foundation of these poems in the reality of family and immediate perception is wholly redemptive. Ferriters is a world aware of Rilkes beauty and terror; Art, particularly music, offers consolation for the fragility and terror of the world in Bosnia or Afghanistan or Civil War Kerry. There are great, redemptive elegies for Shane McGowan, Sinead OConnor and Seamus Begley. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. News that the 2011 Nobel Prize for Literature had been awarded to the Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer was greeted with widespread approval by poets and poetry readers the world over. The author of fifteen collections of poems, Transtromer had in fact been nominated for the prize every year s…ince 1993, a sign of his huge standing and importance in world poetry, undiminished in recent years despite a stroke in 1990 that left him partially paralyzed and unable to speak. The Nobel citation praised Transtromer's poems of "condensed, translucent images" which give us "fresh access to reality", and that startling originality is everywhere to be seen in the poems gathered here, first published as two separate volumes by the Dedalus Press, The Wild Marketplace (1985) and For the Living and the Dead (1994), both translated by John F. Deane, the latter in collaboration with the poet himself. "Comprising poems from the two volumes The wild marketplace and For the living and the dead."

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Jaki McCarrick's debut poetry collection opens with the title poem which recasts the crazed king of Irish legend as a modern-day female struggling to cope with the distractions and pressures of our age.London-born, and raised there and in Co. Louth, again and again McCarrick is drawn to the… exploration of difference, of otherness, her keen eye seeing never just place alone, but glimpses of the longer narratives of connection and belonging.Throughout, the various roles of daughter, writer, friend, lover and neighbour are interrogated, with more than once a voice delivering a surprising new perspective on what we thought we knew or take for granted. Belonging and removal, a sense of place and a yearning for ones place in the scheme of things, these are among the core concerns and explorations of Irish fiction writer Jaki McCarrick in her accomplished debut collection of poems.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Storm Damage weaves personal, historical and mythological threads to create a book that recognises and celebrates the power of words, not least in times of personal and collective challenge. Whether charting the events of her own family life or responding to records in Dublins North Inner C…ity Folklore Collection, the poems and songs contained here have the shadow, and occasionally the light, of history cast over them. For a book in which the word home makes frequent appearances, Cullens world is never closed but always open to the outsider, the less fortunate and the downtrodden. Health concerns give Storm Damage an added resonance, but Cullens power is as a singer of hurts and of salves beyond the merely personal, and in this energetic and engaged new work, she takes to her role with a persuasive and light-footed passion.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Patterns and patterning - cellular, celestial, social, political and personal - spin and weave through Paula Meehan's new collection of poems. From the mythic to the mundane, her attention is given over to the examination of interconnected lives - her own, the lives of her family, the human… ecology of her native Dublin - and the unfolding of pattern-cycles in the non- human world.Meehan's familiar impulse towards blessing and empathy is shadowed in these poems with a clear-sighted understanding that the human perspective is neither privileged nor superior, an awareness that much if not most of existence is indifferent to our all-too-human dramas. Nevertheless, explorations of family, of her own mortality, of the lives of long-dead tenement dwellers, shift and shine in a web of stories that speak to a stubborn human endurance that is sometimes heroic, sometimes tragic - and occasionally transcendent.As well as new poems, this collection integrates Museum (2019), a sequence commissioned for the Dublin Tenement Museum, and For the Hungry Ghosts (2022), a poem cycle responding to the Hades episode of Joyce's Ulysses. "Patterns and patterning - cellular, celestial, social, political and personal - spin and weave through Paula Meehan's new collection of poems. From the mythic to the mundane, her attention is given over to the examination of interconnected lives - her own, the lives of her family, the human ecology of her native Dublin - and the unfolding of pattern-cycles in the non- human world."-- back cover.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 5.5" x 8.5", is new. 95 pages. ""Of Ochre and Ash," Eleanor Hooker's third collection of poems, lends to her familiar themes of family, place and memory a trademark uncanny, even otherworldly atmosphere, in which the glimpsed, the intuited and th…e half-known provide a great deal of the interest. The desire to "see my home from the other side" is a constant, but so too is immersion in the moment and, indeed, the ever-present nearby "darkening lake". "Eleanor Hooker''s voice guides her reader through large metaphoric visions and the consolations of ordinary life. This is a collection full of urgent, haunted poems with a subtle range of approach; they are many-faceted works, reflecting the fragmented strangeness of experience. We face wild gothic moments, whose counterweight is the familiar, calm or stormy, world of the lake she lives beside and the people whose life is shared with hers.".
