Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. First Edition. 1991. 62pp. "Derek Mahon's Bacchae, like Euripides' play, moves speedily through a dazzling and bewildering display of tone, rhythm and feeling. From Dionysus' slangy craftiness in the prologue to the despairing grief of Agave and Cadmus at the end of the play the audience is forced constantly to shift and readjust its point of view. The result is a kind of ethical and emotional vertigo where the boundaries blur between laughter and anguish, reason and illusion, speech and song, kindness and cruelty. The resulting disorientation makes familiar territory strange and dangerous. Mahon's great achievement in this transformation emerges most strikingly in the beauty of his choral odes whose clarity and grace linger hauntingly over the scenes of human folly and divine anger." The book is in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. CARSON, Ciaran. Breaking News. Oldcastle, County Meath, Ireland: The Gallery Press 2003. Signed by the author. Fine in dj. In this radical collection Ciaran Carson s encapsulates the black taxis and the blackbird of Belfast, whose past and traditions the book refracts. The historical reach of Breaking News embraces The Gladstone Bar circa 1954 , Russia and The Indian Mutiny as well as responses to paintings by Goya and Géricault. Shorter poems pave the way for The War Correspondent , a series of poems which dwell on the horrors and the spirit of episodes in the Crimean War. Ciaran Carson records the force of terror and beauty with surgical precision and lapidary skill. His words and phrases resonate among the open spaces which surround them. The mosaic qualities of these poems incorporate silences, interruptions and fractures in communication. Gesturing towards William Carlos Williams rhythms of speech and living, this prodigiously gifted, ever inventive poet extends the range of his Irish idiom. Note: Winner of the Forward Poetry Prize and the Cholmondeley Award.

'Gathered together in a remote County Donegal home of novelist Tom Connolly and his alcoholic wife, Daisy, are: David Knight, a visiting scholar who is appraising Tom's papers (and, by inference, his work); Garret Fitzmaurice, a commercially successful writer whose marriage to Grainne is on the brink of disaster; and Daisy's eccentric father and embittered, arthritic mother. Over dinner, the long-smothered desires and fervent disappointments of this group are brought to the fore as the layers of each character are peeled away--revealing their mutual humiliation, mistrust, and resentment. In this heart-wrenching comedy, Friel calls into question the definition of success while also chronicling the tragic circular relationship between professional and personal pain.' 84 paginated pages. 5.5 x 8.7 inches.
