Synopsis
In this collection of short, intense poems Eamon Grennan’s signature virtues of close attention to the natural world, his meticulous notations of landscape, animals, and weather — all given lyrical authority by his gift for muscular syntax and musical language — are augmented by vigorous responses to edgy emotional states, by a sharpened alertness to conditions of human solitude and human relationship. The resulting work — without titles and intending no narrative plan or sequence — offers a refracted portrait of a consciousness responding to some of the transient ordinary features of the daily life it leads and is led by. In unusually long lines, braced by their steady cadences, each poem offers a palpable sense of the local moment and its fleeting but deeply textured, potentially universal nature.
