Next to Nothing: Salt Modern Poets

Autor Chris Agee
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 ian 2009
Next to Nothing records the years following the death of a beloved child in 2001. Though bereft of belief in the poetic outcome compared to the apocalypse of the loss itself (one sense of the title), the fidelity of these poems to the "heartscapes" of grief constitutes, nonetheless, a work of genuine honouring - spare, delicate, and deeply moving.

Recenzii

It is a profound and exceptionally moving book. I haven't read anything so powerful for a long time. I was left with a sense of both the fragility and the huge importance of the here and now, as well as with an expanded sense of poetry's capacity." -- Hugh Dunkerley The London Magazine Next to love, grief is the great enabler of poems. In many ways grief is more powerful than love, whether in fiction or poetry. Love, especially if it is a happy collaboration between adults, excludes us from its golden circle even as readers, whereas grief, with its sense of crisis and abandonment, ignites our sense of humanity and calls us to become a part of its urgent business. In this, his latest collection of poems, the American born, Belfast-based poet, Chris Agee, has created a compelling, grief-stricken narrative. -- Thomas McCarthy Irish Times
