Specifications
From ancient Greece and Rome (Sappho, Marcellus Empiricus) to the current Covid-19 crisis (Eavan Boland's 'Quarantine'), poets have responded with sensitivity and insight to the trials of the human body and mind. The Poets of Restoration is a small treasure of words illuminating the many different experiences of illness, injury, and recovery, from John Donne's 'Hymn to God, My God, in My Sickness' to Thom Gunn's 'The Man with Night Sweats'. From Anne Finch's 'Spleen' to Jane Kenyon's 'Prognosis'; from Emily Dickinson's 'The Soul Has Bandaged Moments' to Seamus Heaney's 'Miracle'. Here are poems from around the world, from Baudelaire, Hugo, Roudaki, and Cavafy; from Masaoka Shiki, Miroslav Holub, and Zbigniew Herbert. Shakespeare and Milton? Tennyson and Emily Brontë? Charlotte Mew, Sylvia Plath, Wallace Stevens, W. H. Auden, Tony Harrison, and Carol Ann Duffy are all present in the clinic. Messages of hope amid pain - in masterpieces such as Adam Zagajewski's 'Try to Praise the Mutilated World', Wisława Szymborska's 'The End and the Beginning', and Stevie Smith's 'Away, Melancholy' - make this book a perfect gift for anyone on the path to healing.
