Louis MacNeice

    12. september 1907 – 3. september 1963

    Tento írsky básnik, súčasť prestížnej generácie básnikov tridsiatych rokov, sa preslávil svojím uvoľneným, no spoločensky a emocionálne prenikavým štýlom. Jeho dielo citlivo reaguje na politické udalosti svojej doby a ponúka humanistický postoj k totalitarizmu bez toho, aby sa uchyľovalo k jednoduchým politickým vyhláseniam. S hlbokým porozumením a citlivosťou skúmal svoje írske korene, čím obohatil svoju poéziu o jedinečnú perspektívu. Jeho básne, cenené pre svoj ľudský prístup a sociálne uvedomenie, si získali širokú obľubu.

      Here is a juxtaposition of the personal and inter-communal dynamics focussed on the West African experience during the pivotal decade of the 1960s, when National Independence demanded a reflexion on the definition of the new states, and how external factors have borne heavily upon their past, present and future. The author blends his experience of study and travel in the region, acknowledging his debt to the pioneering spirit of the School of Oriental and African Studies who facilitated the enterprise, with an analysis of the challenges the new entities have faced, and how they have fared, nationally and globally, in the light of Slavery, Colonialism and Black Lives Matter.

      John Berryman was an energetic correspondent. Assembled here for the first time, his letters tell of generosity, ambition, and struggle. He has encouraging words for fellow poets and younger writers and is deeply engaged in literary culture. But also visible are the struggles of a working artist grappling with alcoholism and depression.

      In the summer of 1936, W H Auden and Louis MacNeice visited Iceland on commission to write a travel book, but found themselves capturing concerns on a scale that were far more international. This is a collaboration in poetry and prose, reportage and correspondence, published in 1937 with the Spanish Civil War newly in progress.
