Ireland's Winter & Other Poems
No Customer Reviews
Most of this book offers collected poems by the author, but it begins with "Ireland's Winter," a long poem as memorial to the great famine in Ireland, 1845-1852. David's poetry features a sensitive awareness of rhythmic effects in phrasing and the selective uses of rhyme in free verse. Nonetheless, the final section of the book provides more than thirty English sonnets in the Shakespearean form. Therefore, more than rhyme is evident in this work. David is qualified in Philosophy and has published in the field; his poems respect fine distinctions, close attention to metaphoric effects, and reflect a comprehensive grasp of the history of ideas. He knows lyric poetry and understands its place in the history of literature. All these things inform and invigorate IRELAND'S WINTER & OTHER POEMS.
