[EAN: 9781852249045], Neubuch, [PU: Bloodaxe Books], POETRY / GENERAL; IRELAND, nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Brendan Kennelly was one of Ireland's most popular and prolific poets. Over five decades he wrote thousands of poems published in over 30 books of poetry, including three previous editions of Selected Poems. Published on his 75th birthday, this new selection presents just over a hundred of Kennelly's most essential poems, with a QR code giving readers access to an online album of readings by Brendan Kennelly of many poems from the book. The Elektronisches Buch with audio edition incorporates the same recordings.The Essential Brendan Kennelly has been edited by two lifelong admirers of his work. Like Kennelly, Terence Brown studied at Trinity College, Dublin, where he taught until 2009; he is now Fellow Emeritus of the college. Michael Longley, who also studied at Trinity College, went on to become one of Ireland's leading poets and was Ireland Professor of Poetry in 2007-10.Terence Brown & Michael Longley write (from their foreword): 'Brendan Kennelly is a poet of rare gifts, who at all stages of his career has written distinctive, memorable and powerful poems. We hope that this selection will allow readers to appreciate anew, or for the first time, a body of work that ranges from tender lyricism to the bleakest despair at the human condition, from bawdily comic narrative to the pleasingly epigrammatic squib, from mythic consciousness to social satire. Yet each literary mode - the lyrical and its obverse, a reductively satiric assault on 'the poetic' - shares what has seemed the basis of all of Kennelly's poetry: a quest for authenticity of emotion undertaken with high moral intent. In each, as Beckett said of the painter Jack Yeats, the poet 'stakes his being'.'The audio selection draws on four classic recordings made by Brendan Kennelly in Dublin in 1982, 1998, 1999 and 2002 of 32 individual poems as well as four extracts from his book-length poem The Man Made of Rain.'Ten years ago Terence Brown and I edited for Bloodaxe Books a selection of his poems, The Essential Brendan Kennelly: a labour of love. We delighted in bringing into sharper focus the lyric grace of his genius, its rage and its rapture. To our relief Brendan gave our choices the thumbs-up. It remains for me one of the best things I've ever done. I loved and revered the man and his words.' - Michael Longley, The Irish Times, paying tribute to Brendan Kennelly, Books<
