Teaching Dirt to Sing: A Collection of Very Short Stories That are Probably Long Poems - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

As the subtitle would have you believe… this is a collection of short stories, because… it is. It looks like poetry, sounds like poetry, (where it does anyway) because… it is. The difference, and the similarity both, are the celebration of language to reinvent the past into a present that FEELS what is gone, as not gone at all. Where would it go... after all? It’s a history then, meant to be understood, meant to bridge the vast gap between “other” and you, because… there is none. It will take you across time and the world through many eyes, all of which blink some minuscule or looming shadow cast by the past of Ireland. Most of all, it is about the light, that’s the cause of all shadows, the joy, that is the “terrible beauty” of tears. So, in the end, it’s about... all of us.
