At World's End, Begin

Autor Jan Fortune
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 dec 2022
Moving to a remote forest hamlet in a new country in the midst of a pandemic, the only way to connect is to take the time to linger, listen and observe-to be with the land that is becoming home. From this observation a series of haiku arise, following the Japanese system of 24 seasons divided into 72 micro-seasons and interspersed with eight lyric poems that travel around the Celtic wheel of the year. And so a forest garden and its surrounding Finistère woodland slowly reveals itself, weaving together the lunar and solar, melding the Celtic shape of the year with the increments of the Japanese solar terms, each one unveiling a new aspect of change. Charting a life unmoored from the familiar, but permeable to the new, the poems find their place at 'the end of the world', as the Romans called Finistère, but this is also in Penn-ar-Bed, which is both the end and start of the world in the local Breton language. In these precise, exquisitely observed poems, we find ourselves both unsettled and settling, exploring what it means to hold together being adrift whilst finding belonging in cycles of transformation at the end of the world.
