Poetry Collection
This stunning debut collection by Seán Hewitt captures poems of rare musicality and grace. Alternating between the heartbreaking and the melancholic, the verses focus on the naturalness of the world, as well as the closeness of each moment and each object to the spiritual.
Themes such as sexuality, sorrow, and loss coexist with a devotion to life, hope, and renewal. The collection draws from the religious, the sacred, and the secular, where men meet in forests, and the material is corrupted and recreated. It includes prayers, hymns, vespers, invocations, and larger poems that attempt to reach the transcendental.
The reader always feels a sense of fragility combined with strength, a violence that is both bound and liberated. The collection closes with a series of elegies for the poet's father: in the face of despair, we encounter an intense brightness and a reclamation of the spiritual.
The attention to the altered condition and the comforts and strange aspects of the natural world make this work the first of a great poet.
