Title
Waiting for Saint Brendan and Other Poems,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
These are big, ambitious, sometimes sprawling poems, rich in narrative and in detail, an autobiography of sorts, where the voyaging soul is concerned to find home and meaning in a dialogue between self and other. Like Saint Brendan, the author seems to understand that if home is where you set out from, home is also where you hope to find journey's end. Yet, if the title poem draws on the mythological, these poems are surely rooted in our century of migration and displacement, where identities are negotiated as much as given. It is the candid engagement with the difficult choices and tradeoffs made in a search for some omphalos, some centre, in an ever more shifting world, which energises this collection.'Moya Cannon and Theo Dorgan, The Patrick Kavanagh Awards, Judges' Citation,November 2008'These poems are alive to travel and displacement, but not only that: they are alive to the inner lives of places.While this book evolves across two continents, its author is more interested in the local than the global. Whether looking for traces of the Irish Diaspora in Spain, observing Latin American buskers on the Madrid Metro, or crossing Iowa by train to the 'only blue county in Kansas'on the day of Obama's election, David McLoghlin unites sharp 'eyework', in rich and telling details, with what Rilke called 'heartwork', in a series of clear and powerful images.'Ed Skoog, author of Mister Skylight, Rough Day, and Run the Red LightsNative to Ireland but relocated in childhood to Brussels and New England, David McLoghlin writes about emigration and a search for belonging, about betrayal and abuse, about the imagined private lives of the saints, and the geometries of loss and love on the New York subway. In so doing, he offers the reader a first collection that is at once expansive and refined: an uncommon blend of scope and pointillist detail.
