This was a feast of apt words and compound nouns-adjectives-verbs derived mainly from rural imagery mixed between the US and the West of Ireland, but every once in a while Grennan selects, say, a jet or a laborer working at precarious height in an urban setting, and his eye is equally facile and his tongue as adept as with the more familiar bucolic settings. Grennan even attempts to capture some shades of 9-11 in here; they are devastated poems; one can almost see him know the project is doomed to failure before he writes, but he must write nonetheless. Still, he is at his best in careful observation, such as the poem in which he describes a heron with its "spindleshins" stuck deep in mud. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Eamon Grennan's keen vision is "obsessed and suffused with light, befitting a poetry totally devoted to accurate observation and description" (The Irish Times) Don't look back. Think Orpheus. Pillar of salt. One breath, then another. Sweat of apprehension. Still life with wind and breadcrumbs. --from "Injunction" Matter of fact. Matter of life or death. What does it matter? Eamon Grennan's new poems seek out criteria with which to question what is unreliable and what is real, what is mere distraction and what is worthy of attention, what is speculation and what is fact. In prose poems and lyrics, Grennan turns to the immutable power of the natural world and the sustaining forces of art to assign value to what endures, to what finally matters. Here is the poet deeply attuned to the everyday possibilities of love, family, and beauty, and inMatter of Fact, he is at his unmistakable best. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
