Glenday John - Selected Poems - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Selected Poems collects the work of one of our foremost lyric poets John Glenday. The elemental themes long associated with Glenday's name are strongly represented here: the sea the sky; light and its absence; the spirit in the secular age; our natural and human ecologies how they interact and how they might survive the encounter; the transcendent states that arise from the simple contemplation of the earth; the hidden dimensions that lie behind familiar objects and the hells heavens and secret lives that hide within their very names. But new readers will also find a wonderful poet of familial and romantic love as well as a sly humourist and satirist; as the book also features work from long - out - of - print early collections they will also discover that Glenday's voice has always been uniquely his own. Glenday shares with W. S. Graham and Denise Riley an obsession with speech silence and limits of knowledge and with what form the energies that flicker along the border might take. John Glenday is poet who constantly blindsides and moves us whose direct and pure lyric brings us again and again face - to - face with the mystery of our being here.
