His life in Northern Ireland has contributed to the complexity of a poetic universe in which love, friendship and aesthetics contend with war, death and violance. There are no hard boundaries between Longley's love poetry, his nature poetry, his war poetry and his elegies. Longley looks to the poets of Greece and Rome, particularly Homer and Ovid, and to the poets of the two world wars. His great ability, perhaps, has been to distil the large and difficult themes into highly concentrated forms.\n\nThis is Michael Longley's own selection from thirty years of writing; it reveals the strength and coherence of an extraordinary body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780224050357\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 Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Cape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610048389447,"sku":"CF-OGXB-G4KT","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/81diTvIgV0L.jpg?v=1774731512","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/selected-poems-3","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
