Glimpses |
 
|
|
In a frantic world, a momentary glimpse can spark a sudden flash of insight. With their quickfire wit and timeless wisdom, these short poems are as quizzical and unsettling, like riddles or epigrams. When lightning flashes, the graveyard dances. In Glimpses, Brendan Kennelly opens his eyes - and ours - to the world and times we rush through without looking. In a frantic world, the momentary glimpse can spark a sudden flash of insight. With their quickfire wit and timeless wisdom, his glimpse-poems are short, quizzical word-creatures in the tradition of riddles, epigrams and proverbs. Sublime or profane, joyous or crazily raucous, Kennelly's vivid glimpses have a life of their own, leaping beyond the words used to summon them up on the page. When lightning flashes, the graveyard dances. Brendan Kennelly is Professor of Modern Literature at Trinity College Dublin. His most recent books are Begin, The Man Made of Rain and Poetry My Arse.
