About this Item

Paperback. "Notes wears its nerves on the surface, revealing a voice, or voices, which plunge to the edge of despair without falling prey to the merely personal. Yeats, Eliot, Dante, Blake, Schubert, Catullus, among others, are the resident ghosts in this delicate apparatus and yet Notes find its own serene voice in the midst of all those masters of silence. It is so because these poems are both personal and impersonal. They write with brutal candour about the heart of human fragility."Irish Literary SupplementPeter van de Kamp was born in The Hague, The Netherlands in 1956. He taught English and Anglo-Irish Literature, Rhetoric and Stylistics at the University of Leiden and University College, Dublin, where he was a Newman Scholar. He now teaches at the Institute of Technology, Tralee. A poet, translator, critic, anthologist and scholar, he has published extensively in Ireland, England, Europe and the States. In all, he has published 17 books. His second collection of poetry, In Train, was published by Salmon in 2007. He was also the founder of K.I.S.S., the Kerry International Summer School of Living Irish Authors. This is Peter van de Kamp's first poetry collection. The poems are short, dramatic, imagistic, capturing fleeting emotions and feelings, like brief musical chords-nocturnes and variations.
