Published by The Lilliput Press, Dublin
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Three volumes, complete. Hardback volumes, each in dust jacket. Each volume bound with sewn signatures--these are permanent books.

First edition, 1997. liii, 260 pages; Illus., glossary. Volume 3: Anaconda Canoe. First edition, 1998. lxxxi, 250 pages; illus., glossary. John Moriarty was described as "an eco-poet keen on drawing on the vast sources of primitive mythologies, ancient narratives, and contemporary insights in science and spirituality to help us redirect humanity toward an evolutionary understanding that takes seriously its obligations to the planet" by professor Michael W. Higgins (of the John Moriarty Institute) as quoted in a 2019 article and interview in the Irish Times entitled "The greatest Irish thinker you've never read? It could be this man [Moriarty]." Each volume has mild shelfwear to book and jacket, including jacket edge chipping and nicks. Each volume has corner bumped, but chiefly affecting the covers, with minimal if any effect on page block. In addition: Volume 2 has some foxing to edges, but with only minimal bleed-through to page faces, and no text affected. Volume 3 has mild soiling to edges, not affecting page faces. Volume 3 has small puncture through front jacket panel, extending shallowly into (but not all the way through) the board beneath.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Turtle Was Gone a Long Time: Crossing the Kedron, the first volume of a remarkable trilogyby John Moriarty. The title derives from the diver myth found in Siberia and North America, in particular among the Maidu Indians of California. Diving to the floor of the abyss to find intuitions of the world, the work is a mystical quest, from form to void and back, and enacts one of the central themes of European literature, the journey from Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained. In a century in which the human being first set foot on the moon, it attempts 'to come ashore upon the earth in its perennial first morning'. And just as Homer's Odyssey underpinned Joyce's Ulysses, so Turtle is informed by the eschatological journey of the soul as Ancient Egyptians understood it-the post-mortem experience of an underworld, its powers and terrors, yielding to fields of light. The Overture or introduction is a synoptic rehearsal of what follows: three nocturnes in a Tenebrae. 'Engwura Now' contains forty poems enlarged by prose commentaries-rites of passage proposing an emergence into instinctive maturity, a New Heroism. In profound dialogue with religions and cultures, it seeks to 'make them more hospitable to more of what we are'. 'Tenebrae Now' is composed of six parables or stories drawn from everyday life in the West of Ireland. They form a pilgrim's progress towards Good Friday, not as traditionally interpreted but as a mystical journey. 'Tep-zepi Now and Tai-wer' returns to the mornings of infinite possibility, and to the potencies-cosmic and cultural-of the beginning. Crossing the Kendron [John 18:1] offers a series of texts describing one individual's spiritual initiations and transformations, Gethsemane self-encounters and purifications. Ambitious, Dantesque, shamanic, this Beagle voyage across Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Aboriginal and Native American waters seeks the myths, stories, parables and great sayings that will guide and enlighten us in our openness, and availability, to the earth in which each reader is invited to plumb his own depths, and to emerge sacrilized and renewed. Not least, it announces a major contribution to Irish literature and philosophy. Out of print for over a decade, Crossing the Kedron also contains Moriarty's personal selection of his best poems.
