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.Michael Longley is the author of eight poetry books, including Gorse Fires, which received the Whitbread Poetry Award, and The Weather in Japan, which won the Hawthornden Prize, the T.S. Eliot Prize, and the T.S. Eliot Prize. The Irish Times Poetry Award and the T.S. Eliot Prize Longley was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 2001 and the Wilfred Owen Award in 2003.
