Download or read book The Poetry of Derek Mahon written by Hugh Haughton and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-10-21 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derek Mahon is one of the leading poets of his time, both in Ireland and beyond, famously offering a perspective that is displaced from as much as grounded in his native country. From prodigious beginnings to prolific maturity, he has been, through thick and thin, through troubled times and other, a writer profoundly committed to the art of poetry and the craft of making verse. He has also been no-less a committed reviser of his work, believing the poem to be more than a record in verse, but a work of art never finished. This virtuoso study by Hugh Haughton provides the most comprehensive account imaginable of Mahon's oeuvre. Haughton's brilliant writing always serves and illuminates the poetry, yielding extraordinary insights on almost every page. The poetry, its revisions and reception, are the subject here, but so thorough is the approach that what is offered also amounts indirectly to an intellectual biography of the poet and with it an account of Northern Irish poetry vital to our understanding of the times.

Download or read book Something an Atheist Might Bring Up at a Cocktail Party written by Charles Rafferty and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. SOMETHING AN ATHEIST MIGHT BRING UP AT A COCKTAIL PARTY explores what it means to encounter crisis in a godless world. The poems range from lyrics to dramatic monologues, and while they do not all address the idea of religion directly, the sense of our aloneness informs each of the poems. "I have followed Charles Rafferty's work for the better part of three decades now. His is an art driven by intelligence and passion, crafted in the best sense. He is a poet equally adept at working in strict form as out of it. More than simple execution, though, it's Rafferty's way of seeing that pushes his lines into rare territory. The poems in his most recent collection, SOMETHING AN ATHEIST MIGHT BRING UP AT A COCKTAIL PARTY, certainly fit that bill. Whether he is writing about the bustle city and country share, a boy's exotic dreams of hummingbirds and kayaks, swimming in the Great Salt Lake, or the pain of growing up Jesus's brother, there is a harmony of truth to Rafferty's poems that cannot be ignored. These are poems, and a poet, at full voice, necessary in all ways."--Jack B. Bedell, Poet Laureate, State of Louisiana, 2017-2019 "In SOMETHING AN ATHEIST MIGHT BRING UP AT A COCKTAIL PARTY, Charles Rafferty continues his exploration of the biggest subjects, those for which there are no easy answers, in a voice that could be your next door neighbor's. Rafferty's speakers are plainspoken and surprisingly vulnerable, having been tossed about by daily agitations which have left them 'a little bit happy, / a little bit used.' They are often fathers who are carefully balancing the desire to guide with the growing understanding that acceptance may be the more lasting virtue. They find wisdom in the death of a pet bird ('Eat what you are / given, shit when you have to, / sing for the world beyond your reach'). They rely on love and connection to family. They are comfortable with knowing 'we revolve / around something more / beautiful than ourselves.' Charles Rafferty's poems have always cut through much of poetry's noisy distractions; the work he is writing now is even more distilled, more valuable to readers like you and me."--Leslie McGrath

Download or read book A Cluster of Noisy Planets written by BOA Editions, Limited and published by BOA Editions. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Rafferty's latest collection of prose poems turns philosophical. In A Cluster of Noisy Planets, Rafferty captures the rhythms and patterns of life as a lover, father, and poet, distilling each moment to its essence and grounding them collectively in the wider perspective of a changing world, the constant turning of the stars and the changing seasons of the New England countryside. With a knowing nod to the passage of time--day to day, year to year, epoch to epoch--these lyrical poems form a record of the profound, ephemeral joys, losses, and echoes of commonplace moments.

Book excerpt: "In the world made by Charles Rafferty's poems, men travel with hawks in their suitcases, clouds of bees disrupt wedding receptions. Rafferty sees through "the concussed air of streetlamp, mall and interchange" to the small wild heart fluttering in the center of our mostly-tamed lives. But in these poems where "a bracelet of barbed wire, a pendant of living bees" might be decorations lies a love for all the risk and beauty of being human. Charles Rafferty is a poet of vision and imagination, and The Unleashable Dog is a mature and beautiful collection." -- Al Maginnes (from the back cover)

Download or read book Haunted English written by Laura O'Connor and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-11-27 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haunted English explores the role of language in colonization and decolonization by examining how Anglo-Celtic modernists W. B. Yeats, Hugh MacDiarmid, and Marianne Moore “de-Anglicize” their literary vernaculars. Laura O'Connor demonstrates how the poets’ struggles with and through the colonial tongue are discernible in their signature styles, using aspects of those styles to theorize the dynamics of linguistic imperialism—as both a distinct process and an integral part of cultural imperialism. O'Connor argues that the advance of the English Pale and the accompanying translation of the receding Gaelic culture into a romanticized Celtic Fringe represents multilingual British culture as if it were exclusively English-speaking and yet registers, on a subliminal level, some of the cultural losses entailed by English-only Anglicization. Taking the fin-de-siècle movements of the Gaelic revival and the Irish Literary Renaissance as her point of departure, O'Connor examines the effort to undo cultural cringe through language and literary activism.
