A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

MICHAEL FOLEY was born in Derry in 1947. He was joint editor of the Honest Ulsterman from 1970 to 1971 and contributed a regular satirical column, 'The Wrassler', to Fortnight magazine throughout the early 1970s. His first collection of poetry, True Life Love Stories, was published by Blackstaff Press in 1976, followed by The GO Situation in 1982 and Insomnia in the Afternoon in 1994. He has also published four novels and a collection of translations of French poetry. Michael Foley currently lives in London where he lectures in Information Technology at the University of Westminster.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Traversing the welter and squalor of London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and New York, celebrating afresh the familiar and mundane - bread, soap, matches and snails - Foley's latest collection culminates in a powerful sequence of poems that looks at age, mortality, loss, failure, disappointment and envy with unflinching honesty, wry humour and, ultimately, affirmation. "Autumn Beguiles the Fatalist" retains the qualities praised in Michael Foley's earlier poetry - disconcerting candour, rhythmic vitality, mordant wit and readability.
