Deane is a vital and generous presence in Irish poetry. \"New and Selected Poems\" gathers work from Deane's five previous \"Carcanet\" collections, alongside a new sequence, \"Snow Falling on Chestnut Hill\". Written with an inquiring intelligence, these poems of a dozen years meditate on the relevance of Christian spirituality to our troubled times. Each of the twelve poems in the title sequence presents a movement of the spirit, from the author's childhood in the west of Ireland, through the death of a wife, to the birth of a grandchild. Arranged in the manner of an orchestral symphony, each section takes its cue from a different piece of music, from Beethoven's \"Ninth Symphony\" to Mozart's \"Laudate Dominum\". The sequence traces, phase by phase, the development of a Christian life. Faith, in its broadest sense, is inflected by imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847771179\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e RKC2009267884\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 Annotations on several poems by renowned author Maurice Harmon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610052026695,"sku":"KZ-YBVJ-I538","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/71LAgwirZGL.jpg?v=1774731654","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/snow-falling-on-chestnut-hill-new-and-selected-poems","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
