Author: Maurice Harmon Brand: Irish Academic Press Number Of Pages: 272 PartNumber: RKC2010831332 Release Date: 11-02-2008 Details: This comprehensive study interprets Thomas Kinsella's extraordinary progress from lyric poems and meditations about fragility and impermanence to complex assessments of individual isolation and helplessness in the modern world. His work, which has been knitted to Dublin city, expresses his engagement with Irish life and culture in 'Nightwalker', Poems from Centre City, Personal Places, and The Pen Shop. His involvement with Irish history, evident in his absorption with the past and his creative interpretation of the arrival and settling in of prehistoric people, is demonstrated in his extensive translations from Irish literature. He is also a universal poet who has explored Jungian archetypes in New Poems, psychological stress in the 'Wormwood' sequence, and the notion of meaninglessness in Her Vertical Smile and of living on the edge in Marginal Economy. In his persistent search for understanding he has examined the effects of evil whether expressed in man's proclivity for destruction, the direct concern of Man of War, or the reality of death in the elegies for Seán Ó Riada, John F. Kennedy, and his own father. Deprived of a community of shared values and the reassurances of philosophy or religion, he has conducted a systematic investigation of the question of causality and responsibility in the human and divine spheres, whether articulated by artists like Gustav Mahler or Seán Ó Riada or thinkers like St Augustine, Eriugena or Aurelius, and has verified the role of the artist as measured and exact recorder. His poems dramatise issues through narrative, elegy, allegory, and myth and commemorate love, ceremony, natural beauty and creativity itself.

Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin
Ireland
Pigeonhouse Books is a private Dublin archive of the unusual and the hard to find. We have served readers, researchers and people curious about our world since 2016.
Founded by an experienced editor and history graduate, our small family-run operation is like having the keys to the research library or the enthusiast's den. We specialise in finding and making available specialist items essential to the researcher, scientist, academic, collector, student, hobbyist, layperson and – most importantly – the reader, whatever their interests and wherever they may be in the world.
Pigeonhouse is a colloquial name pointing to the red and white towers of the former Poolbeg Generating Station at the estuary of the River Liffey - an icon of Dublin for those who arrive or leave, and a newfound symbol of arty modernism in Ireland.
The private Pigeonhouse warehouse is located nearby and is home to nearly 25,000 books and moving-image, audio and material-culture resources. Lost media – VHS, magazines, ephemera and never-digitised material – is a personal quest.
All of these can be dispatched worldwide here on this site via PigeonhouseBooks.com, and via your local Amazon/AbeBooks/Biblio outlet.
Visitors are always welcome by appointment at Parliament Street in Dublin 2, the city of Joyce and a UNESCO City of Literature. Please drop us a line in advance: all are very welcome to inspect and collect any item in our catalogue in person.
