Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNCelebrated for his lyrical intensity, his metaphysical wit, his thematic and formal range, Michael Longley is widely regarded as one of the finest poets in these islands. His life in Northern Ireland has contributed to the complexity of a poetic universe in which love, friendship and aesthetics contend with war, death and violance. There are no hard boundaries between Longley's love poetry, his nature poetry, his war poetry and his elegies. Longley looks to the poets of Greece and Rome, particularly Homer and Ovid, and to the poets of the two world wars. His great ability, perhaps, has been to distil the large and difficult themes into highly concentrated forms.
This is Michael Longley's own selection from thirty years of writing; it reveals the strength and coherence of an extraordinary body of work.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This is Michael Longley's own selection from thirty years of writing. It reveals the strength and coherence of an extraordinary body of work, which has been celebrated--in Britain and Ireland, but also in the United States--for its lyric intensity, metaphysical wit, and thematic and formal range. Includes selections from No Continuing City (1969), An Exploded View (1973), Man Lying on a Wall (1976), The Echo Gate (1979), New Poems, Gorse Fires (1991), and The Ghost Orchid (1995). In Michael Longley's own selection from thirty years of writing, humane and lyrical poems express intimacies of love and grief within his deeply disturbed province. His sympathy and acute eye extend from ordinary neighbors to the most vulnerable forms in nature. Recently he has returned more frequently to his roots in classical literature to portray his own society aslant through refashionings of episodes of Homer and Ovid.
