Produktinformationen "The Next Life"
Following his widely acclaimed prose memoir The Invisible Prison (2009), and New and Selected Poems (2005, reissued 2007), The Next LIfe is Pat Boran's first full-length collection of poems in over a decade and sees him exploring questions of love, belonging and connection in poems that, more than ever, are influenced by music and song, aware that challenges of all sizes may be entry points to new beginnings and that the instinct to sing and praise has seldom been more relevant or crucial. Despite echoing the promise of religious belief, The Next Life of the title is entirely to be found in the here-and-now and the near-to-hand, in the play of sparrows on a lawn, in the mortality-exploring games of his two small children ('Let's Die'), and, against the noise and distractions of the world, in the trust and faith of lovers "whispering together / words never uttered before".
