Author:
Imprint:
London : Jonathan Cape, 2025.
Collation:
64 pages ; 20 cm
Summary:
John Burnside's last collection of poems gathers around a single theme - mortality - and draws on his faltering health and earlier glances with death, creating a powerfully moving exploration of memory, forgetting and the seven ages. Here, as always, there is a clear-eyed curiosity; a sense of wonder at the beleaguered natural world and its endless mutability - its hidden beauty, often suddenly disclosed - and a deep faith in its old gods. Burnside was always as much a spirit-guide as a poet, and here, in 'The Empire of Forgetting', we are never far from a fresh alertness to the world, to epiphany - a sudden, spiritual manifestation.
