Messenger: Poems,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A companion volume to his previous collection Trespasser and the second book of the trilogy Dreaming in Irish, Messenger continues R. T. Smiths exploration of the threshold between story and song. Employing a disciplined and echoing free verse, Smith touches the sources of emotion without losing his poems extraordinary composure, offering coherence and order in service of the ecstatic note.Binding the lyric to narrative, these poems move almost imperceptibly from delicate descriptions of the poets native southern landscape to memories of a tender boyhood amid ScotsIrish relatives to the customs and politics of contemporary Ireland. They invoke Audubon, Bartram, Dickey, Poe, and Joyce to pursue the mythic patterns behind everyday circumstances and the joyful possibilities in work, music, and family life.Smith weaves the language of Catholic faith with both American and Irish rural surroundings, providing the fuel for quiet allegories. He listens and observes, and seeks to bridge the chasm between his world and his words, exercising what he callsa desire old as cave paintings,the wish to entice some wild thingand make beauty local,to bring something gracefulclose to the language of home.
