Synopsis :

No Man’s Land is the highly assured debut collection of poems by Chile-based Irish poet David Nash, an exploration and a reclamation of a place at once familiar and strange – the rural landscape of the poet’s formative years.

Returning for the first time in over a decade, Nash re-immerses himself in a world of memory and language, folklore and custom, revealing a strikingly intimate connection with flora and fauna, land- and seascape.

Yet all the while, his presence feels questioned, undeserved, his calling as both participant and observer under assault from the passage of time and the overwhelming threat of the present ecological moment.

Inventive and playful, surprising and life-affirming, at its heart No Man’s Land is nevertheless a book about loss ­– the loss of language, knowledge, nature and wilderness that affects all of us in these troubling times.

À propos de l'auteur: David Nash was born in Co. Cork, Ireland, and lives between Ireland and Chile. His work has been published in Poetry Ireland Review, The Stinging Fly, The White Review, Propel, Modern Queer Poets, and in the Dedalus anthology Local Wonders, among others. His texts have appeared in numerous art exhibitions and books, including for Wolfgang Tillmans at IMMA. A Spanish-language children’s book, Bajo Mis Pies, came out in 2020, as did two translations of books on the cultural history of Chile. He writes for Harpers Bazaar Korea and Elle Korea, and essays have appeared in The Irish Times. His first pamphlet, The Islands of Chile, was published in 2022.
