The Irish poet John F. Deane takes a period of time and sifts through it for meaning and purpose. His new collection explores how each human being shares in an integrated universe, though our world is variously broken by individual conflict, wars and natural violence. Beginning with an account of the simplest-seeming island people and their troubled though productive lives, \"A Little Book of Hours\" continues with a series of poems about King David, great poet and warrior, which consider the ineffectuality of war and the place of poetry in building towards a just society. The title sequence journeys through Europe in search of sacred truth, emulating the journey of Tobias attended by the angel. Deane's book is a meditation in which the Christian vision is seen to penetrate and bind all of humanity and nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857549706\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857549708\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Signed by the author and dedicated to the previous recipient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e CollectibleLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610042622279,"sku":"5Q-HAFW-SHY9","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/81GxLjX0AAL.jpg?v=1774731424","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/a-little-book-of-hours","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
