The Weather in Japan by Michael Longley

The poems in this volume vary widely in length, subject, and setting (from Mayo, to Tuscany, to Japan). With a Zen-like grace, even the briefest poems hurdle logical gaps and sidestep reason to get to truths. The poet s acute vision is directed outward, and we know him only through the light he casts on the world s things as he holds them in loving, elegiac frames. Winner of the Irish Times Irish Literature Prize for Poetry, 2001; Winner of the T. S. Eliot Poetry Prize, 2001; Winner of the Hawthornden Prize, 2000.
