Articles liés à Compass of Affection: Poems New And Selected
Synopsis
In this provocative collection, rich with expression and dense with meaning, Scott Cairns expresses an immediate, incarnate theology of God's power and presence in the world. Spanning thirty years and including selections from four of his previous collections, Compass of Affection illuminates the poet's longstanding engagement with language as revelation, and with poetry as way of discovery. For those who already admire the poetry of Scott Cairns and for those who have yet to be introduced, this essential volume presents the best of his work - the holy made tangible, love made flesh, and theology performed rather than discussed. Praise for Scott Cairns' work "Scott Cairns [is] perhaps the most important and promising religious poet of his generation."-Prairie Schooner "The voice of Cairns is conversational and coaxing-confiding in us secrets that seem to be our own." -Publishers Weekly

Hardcover. Etat : New. If you could hear him read, you would understand. You see, the lilt of his voice, the natural pauses, sometimes expectant of your discernment of implied laughter, the gentle inflection upon just the right word-well, if you could hear them, then you would sense the real genius between these covers. But we only have words; which, according to Mr. Cairns, bear some weight: 'Repentance, you'll observe, / glibly bears the bent / of thought revisited, / and mind's familiar stamp / - a quaint, half-hearted / doubleness that couples / all compunction with a pledge / of recurrent screw-up. / The heart's metanoia, / on the other hand, turns / without regret, turns not / so much away, as toward, / as if the slow pilgrim / has been surprised to find / that sin is not so bad / as it is a waste of time.' Cairns' poems, in this selection from all his previous collections save Recovered Body, in addition to new ones never published, remind and inform us of the really important things: Death: 'The thing to remember is how / tentative all of this really is. / You could wake up dead.' And Life: 'What stillness their hearts must know; these bathers / laid out and glistening along the dissolve / of an ancient sea, / their bodies-so late from brief exercise; / so lately thrown down in exhaustion- / already marbled'. And triumph over Death: 'Everything we know as well as everything we don't in all / creation came to be in that brief, abysmal / vacuum The Holy One first opened in Himself. / So it's not so far a stretch from that Divine Excess / to advocate the sacred possibility / that in some final, graceful metanoia He / will mend that ancient wound completely, and for all.' 161 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 3530
