New Collected Poems
New Collected Poems | Derek Mahon
5 posts | 1 to read
New Collected Poems is an updated version of Collected Poems (1999). It brings together, in a new form, the poems the author wishes to preserve from the work of half a century. Duly praised at home and abroad, they range in time and space from the early Ulster poems and 'A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford' to two ambitious sequences, 'New York Time' and 'Decadence'. Also included are the great recent flourish of Harbour Lights, Life on Earth and An Autumn Wind, and a group of previously uncollected poems, among them 'Monochrome', 'The One-Thirty' and 'Dreams of a Summer Night'

The sun rises in spite of everything
And the far cities are beautiful and bright.
I lie here in a riot of sunlight
Watching the day break & the clouds flying.
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

Nute It is devastating what a war can do to the face of a city. It can make it unrecognizable. I felt this despair and hope for reconnection. Thanks for sharing.🧡 5y
