Tom Paulin Poradie kníh

An outstanding collection of poems by Tom Paulin, one of Britain's most original poets and literary critics "o chitterin chatterin platinum licht the bow shall be in the clouds and I will look upon it to remember the everlasting testament between God and all that liveth upon earth whatsoever flesh or faith it be --they may have turned Tyndale into tinder but the bow he wrought lives high in this wet blue sky" --from "The Wind Dog" In the north of Ireland, a "wind dog" is a fragment of a rainbow, and in the title poem of this collection, it provides Tom Paulin with a perfect bridge into childhood and its "lingo-jingo of beginnings." The poem is a singing meditation on the life of the ear--"the only true reader"--and the meaning and music of both words and preverbal sounds are a recurring theme in this rich, cogent, and adventurous volume.
