A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This new anthology from Poetry Ireland includes a wide selection of night poems and lullabies, to prepare readers of all ages for the shelter of untroubled sleep.

Included are 'grown up' night poems like Alicante Lullaby, Sylvia Plath's description of her desire for sleep in the hustle and bustle of a Spanish resort, WH Auden's musical and soothing love poem Lullaby, Titania's sleep soliloquy from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and John Keats' beauitful Ode to a Nightingale .

The anthology also contains many tender poems reflecting a parent's experience of watching over children while they sleep, including Eavan Boland's/b> Night Feed, Seamus Heaney's Serenades, and Peter Sirr's PPS.

Ireland s rich lullaby tradition is also represented, with lullably and cradle songs to read to young children interspersed throughout the book.
