Description: |
First collection by one of Ireland's most distinctive new lyrical voices, winner of the Listowel Writers' Week Poetry Collection Prize. Her poems are rooted in rural life but universal in their appeal. |
Synopsis: |
The textured language, vivid imagery and musical rhythms of Jane Clarke's debut collection convey a distinctive voice and vision. With lyrical grace these poems contemplate shadow and sorrow as well as creativity and connection. The threat of loss is never far away but neither is delight in the natural world and what it offers. Rooted in rural life, this poet of poignant observation achieves restraint and containment while communicating intense emotions. The rivers that flow through the collection evoke the inevitability of change and our need to find again and again how to go on. |
