God in Winter by Padraig J Daly
Irish poet Padraig J. Daly's latest collection of poems is set in a challenging place, our unGodded world, as one poem calls it, our infected kingdom, another. It is a place of darkness and heaviness of the soul, where things are left unfinished or in ruins and the sun goes down protesting. But it is also a place that is somehow redeemed, a place made, if only momentarily, radiant by the perception of a greater design, by the vision of a yellow ecstasy of leaves in the street, and, most of all, by the guileless love and affection of the young whose laughter lights / Every cobwebbed corner / Of our hearts. As in his previous books, God in Winter includes a number of Daly's versions of early Irish poems, remarkable for their simplicity and lightness of touch. At a time when what might be called 'poetry of faith' goes against the prevailing fashion, Daly makes a distinctive 'good news' out of accumulated small perceptions that between them offer solace and seek to counterbalance the troubles of the human heart.| SKU | Unavailable |
