The Man Who Was Marked by Winter

Meehan, Paula

Poetry

Eastern Washington Univ Pr

From the Foreword of this 66 page book: "Just occasionally there is a poet who marshals the details and meanings of her time and place in such a way that she becomes an essential voice. Paula Meehan is a poet like that. These are the lyrics of the Dublin in which she was born and of the wider landscape she seeks out. They fit 'each surprising street to city square to diamond'. They invite the reader into a dimension of compelling details: of winkle fish and blackthorn and albino butterflies. They propose the unabashed enchantments of fragrant applewood or the bright bronze nib of a fountain pen. And then, in beautiful surprises of language and argument, the dimension unfolds and re-creates itself into the surprising and ambitious spaces of contemporary vision: of a poet who is also a woman, who is restating the Irish poem in terms of new initiatives and perspectives. This is a book of wonderful coherence and direction. Dependable in its clarity of image, but unpredictable in its reach into melancholy and elegy. And yet its purpose is always clear: to honor the hard, daily human adventure - to do it true justice - by memory and music and language."

This 74 page book contains more than forty of Paula Meehan's poetry. Meehan, Ireland's Professor of Poetry, has dedicated much of her work to an exploration of the lives of the oppressed and the marginalized in society. Her poems are sensual both in her handling of ideas and in her handling of the words which convey those ideas. An essential strand of her work is feminism. The poems in "Pillow Talk" are technically proficient, serious in the questions they address, and never didactic or humourless.

Three Irish Poets

Best known as one of the leading Irish poets of her generation, Paula Meehan is also an accomplished and much-admired playwright, and her stage work has been performed by, among others, Team Theatre Company, Rough Magic, Calypso Theatre Company and The National Theatre Company at the Peacock. As well as her work for stage, in recent years she has also written for radio, a medium which provides particular scope for the oral and sonic qualities so often admired in her writing. Music for Dogs presents, for the first time in print, a selection of that work for radio from a poet of "perfect pitch" (Midwest Book Review). Janey Mack is Going to Die, The Lover and Threehander were all written for and first performed on RTÉ Radio 1.
