Beskrivning
Painting Rain explores an Ireland where uncontrolled development is tearing apart a sustaining ecology. Paula Meehan sifts through the lore and memory available to her: her own journey through life, the small victories and large defeats that shape a world. Hers is an ambitious meditation, from that point where private memory, mythology and ecology meet.The home, the city's heart, neglected suburban battlegrounds, all are shot through with visionary light. In poems of loss, hymns to the empty world, celebrations of people and place, Meehan confronts the darkness that everywhere threatens. These are poems that sustain belief in the power of language to reveal, interrogate and heal.

Recensioner i media

'Paula Meehan is that rare and precious thing - a vocational poet ofcourage and integrity. Already much-loved and admired far beyond theshores of her native Ireland, Meehan advances her claim on our heartsand minds with Painting Rain. From present-day Dublin to AncientGreece, the myths and flawed heroes of her poems give back to us our ownlives, counted out in illuminated moments of joy, pain, love andmemory.'Carol Ann Duffy
