“Translation as Mutation”
World is crazier and more of it than we think, Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion A tangerine and spit the pips and feel The drunkenness of things being various. (Louis MacNeice, ‘Snow’) It is undeniable that poetic translation has long been a component of Ciaran Carson’s oeuvre, “as
The Great War and All That in A Hundred Doors by Michael Longley
Who can bring peace to people who are not civilised? All of these people, alive or dead, are civilised. (Michael Longley, The Weather in Japan) In an interview granted in 2011, on the occasion of the publication of A Hundred Doors, Michael Longley expressed the wish that his work would ultimately “look like four
“Through the Land of Nod and Wink”
Alternative universes loom before us with their many shadows (Ciaran Carson, Last Night's Fun) Ciaran Carson’s career as a poet, prose-writer and translator was acknowledged in 2011 when he was conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Literature by University College Dublin. In his address, Professor Frank McGuinness defined him as “one of the most
Correspondence(s) in The Pen Friend by Ciaran Carson
In The Pen Friend published in 2009, Ciaran Carson draws upon the form of the epistolary novel, albeit in a somewhat non-conformist way. How to convey reality through language, or languages – photography, painting among others – is once more the purpose of the writer, even though subject and form have been renewed. This article aims at showing how the reader is transported into a world full of correspondences, a world transfigured by the power of…
“Through the Forest of Language”
Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future And time future contained in time past. (T.S.Eliot, “Burnt Norton”, Four Quartets) Upon its publication in 2008, For All We Know was variously described in the press as an “intricately-worked psychological and political thriller” (Sampson 2008), “a cryptic
Michael Longley’s Poetry of the Elements in Snow Water
Le meilleur parti à prendre est donc de considérer toutes choses comme inconnues, et de se promener ou de s’étendre sous bois ou sur l’herbe, et de reprendre tout du début (Francis Ponge, Le Parti pris des choses). Air, soil, water, fire – those are the words, I myself am a word with them – my
“A Fusillade of Question Marks”
The present has no duration. The past and future do not exist (Ciaran Carson, Shamrock Tea) The Irish for No dates back to the 1980s, and was thus composed within the context of ‘The Troubles’, after an interval of about a decade during which Ciaran Carson published little poetry. This hiatus was partly due to the
“Between That World and This”
In an article published in 2003, Gerald Dawe emphasized the originality of Carson’s new collection: “there is much to distinguish Breaking News, awarded the Forward Prize last week, from his previous collections. The new book emphasizes a different fragmentary diction . The clutter of Carson’s aural and visual Belfast has expanded to embrace a gaggle of
Tradition and the (Re)Writing of Poetry in Roman Script by Derek Mahon
In Roman Script, first published separately in June 1999, then included with a few variants in Collected Poems, ((All subsequent quotations are from this edition.))and finally published some time later in Selected Poems, another cultural world, Italy which Shelley called “the paradise of exiles”, serves as a source of inspiration to the poet and forms a kind of bridge
