| Description: | Select Guide Rating Selected poems from the prize-winning poet Colette Bryce. <p><i>Shortlisted for the Poetry Pigott Prize in association with Listowel Writers’ Week</i><br><br>Through four highly acclaimed collections, Colette Bryce has steadily consolidated her position as one of the most important of the younger generation of Irish poets. Possessed of a preternaturally acute ear and eye, Bryce is the recorder and observer of tense times: perhaps no contemporary poet has better mapped the fault-lines of nation and family, of love and tribal loyalty, of landscape and border. In all this, Bryce again and again declares the primacy of song as a redemptive practice, and a glorious end in itself: no voice is more accurately pitched or effortlessly musical. <i>Selected Poems</i> draws together the best of her poetry from <i>The Heel of Bernadette</i> to <i>The Whole & Rain-domed Universe</i>, winner of the Ewart-Biggs Award, and is a marvellous introduction to the range and sweep of Bryce’s work.</p> |
