Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'There are poets who make sense in their poems,' writes Eavan Boland in her introduction to this book. 'And then there are poets who also make sense of the literature they belong to, and continue to shed light on it whenever their work is read. Padraic Fallon belongs to this second category.… His poems continue to illuminate us.' Fallon published little in his lifetime but is now recognised as a major poet. He inherited a tradition of Irish culture redefined by Yeats, and contributed to it poems that combine lyricism with ironic clear-sightedness. Responding to the landscapes and history of Ireland, Fallon looks outwards, too, to European literature and the complexities of the modern world. 'Padraic Fallon comes to us now as much a contemporary as he was when he began,' Seamus Heaney declares. Padraic Fallon was long recognised in Ireland as an outstanding poet, and also as an important radio dramatist, storywriter and essayist. But he had an aversion to book publication and refused to collect his poems until shortly before his death. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Condition: New. A Hymn of the Dawn' tells of the life of the poet Padraic Fallon (1905-1974), his wife Don and their six sons during an idyllic summer in the south-east of Ireland in the 1950s. At Prospect, a Georgian house with a small farm, the poet writes his poems, newspaper columns, and radio plays, 'a cigarette s…mouldering in the ashtray at his elbow, pounding the keys of his typewriter as his eyes stare beyond the words'. His sons, when not working on house or farm, exploit the solitude and open spaces: fishing, soldiering, sailing, poaching, and finally embarking on an expedition in an old herring cot to discover the secrets of the inland waterways. The poet has his own adventures. He collects ballads and sea shanties for his radio programme, meeting sailors and fishermen, jaunting along the coast in his old car. He takes to the open harbour in a tiny punt. His sons go with him on a fishing-boat to visit a lighthouse. Other figures emerge in rich colour: the ploughman, the well-digger, the wildfowler, the handyman, the water diviner, the mischievous uncle from Dublin, poachers and fishermen, the aspiring Caruso who sings to a full moon, and the local man who runs naked through their fields. To Prospect come visitors from the outside world - the artist Tony O'Malley, piper and traditional singer Seamus Ennis, the poet Austin Clarke, the art critic and former gunman Ernie O'Malley, and a succession of writers, critics and poets. Brilliantly fusing fact with fiction, 'A Hymn of the Dawn' is an exquisitely realized evocation of childhood, as the author - the poet's youngest son - lovingly recreates the mysteries and magic of the countryside and its people.

Hardback. Condition: New. The ghost of the Greek mathematician Archimedes breaks the silence of the night. He speaks of a cosmic discovery, one that sprang from the ancient symbol of the circle, and relates a mystery of his death. A lone figure of the modern era listens, conjured into a Hellenistic world of philosophy and war wh…ile, in the parallel dimension of today's world, he discovers a harsh mystery of his own. The Ancient Greek search for truth and the love of proportion come to life as Archimedes evokes the enigma of pi and the circle, and the events of his life that led to a scientific revelation, before he died at the hands of a Roman soldier in the siege of Syracuse. There he had proved that the philosopher citizen could be heir to the Greek Heroic tradition. The reader enters the Greek world of learning as it continued to flourish after the death of Alexander, when abstract knowledge was prized and the search for truth was uninhibited by religion or persecution. Archimedes enjoyed from childhood a natural communion with Artemis, Goddess of the Moon and protector of his city-state.The book leads us on a pilgrimage to Eleusis, to Thermopylae, and to Alexandria and the Egypt of the Ptolemies, in parallel with a modern dimension, set among the Stone Age sites of Avebury and Silbury Hill. Archimedes and his listener seek their own truths, which fuse in a vision of Creation at Silbury Hill, the goddess emerging as a symbol of Nature, an archetype that continually connects mankind with its origin. "The Circles of Archimedes", using a variety of voices, is remarkable for its coherence and its tension; it demonstrates that the wisdom of the ancients is central to the search for truths about ourselves and our cosmos.
