Krátky popis
A powerful exploration of life and death, illness and grace, wonder
and beauty, in the posthumous collection from one of our greatest
contemporary poets'A master of language' HILARY MANTELJohn
Burnside’s last collection of new poems gathers around a single
theme – mortality – and draws on his faltering health and earlier
glances with death, creating a powerfully moving exploration of
memory, forgetting and the seven ages. Here, as always, there is a
clear-eyed curiosity, a sense of wonder at the beleaguered natural
world and its endless mutability – its hidden beauty, often
suddenly disclosed – and a deep faith in its old gods. Burnside was
always as much a spirit-guide as a poet, and here, in the Empire of
Forgetting, we are never far from a fresh alertness to the world,
to epiphany – a sudden, spiritual manifestation.There is a sense,
too, in these last poems, of a man having found a ‘dwelling place’
– a sense of rest and peace and settlement with the world. A state
of grace. 'Among the best writers of his generation, fully voiced
and perfectly pitched’ ANDREW O'HAGAN‘A titan of literature'
