ESSENTIAL BRENDAN KENNELLY: Selected Poems - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Essential Brendan Kennelly is at turns a lush and jubilant, wintry and harsh collection of poems. It provides a convincing outline of the poet&;s growth from an early lyric genius who was sensitive to discordance into the epic poet who, as the editors observe, combined the &;note of awe-struck lyricism&; with &;notes of disgust, fierce satire, sardonic bitterness&; and &;self-laceration.&; As Kennelly himself explains in The Book of Judas, &;The best way to serve the age is to betray it.&; This satire has since given way to poems that are &;comic, desolate, absurd by turns.&; Here is the work of a &;poet of abundance,&; including just over a hundred of his most essential poems, selected by Terence Brown and Michael Longley.Edited and with an Introduction by Terence Browne and Michael Longley; Includes an audio CD of the poet reading his work
