Landing Light - Don Paterson - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Landing Light - Don Paterson - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE WHITBREAD PRIZE FOR POETRY 2003 Landing Light is Don Paterson''s most accomplished and spiritual collection to date. In these poems, he guides us down the labyrinths of our deepest and most private concerns, pursuing the intimacy that the spoken - as well as the printed - word brings. Ceaselessly inquiring, deftly tuned into the emotional crackle of the world, Paterson explores the swings of light and dark that mark our most troubling feelings: utterance and silence, disclosure and concealment, and ultimately the need to both renew and to face finality.''I couldn''t get Don Paterson''s brilliant Landing Light out of my head.'' Spectator ''The most animated and animating volume of new poems I have read for years.'' Times Literary Supplement

Electric Light - Seamus Heaney - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Electric Light - Seamus Heaney - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Electric Light travels widely in time and space, visiting the sites of the classical world, revisiting the poet''s childhood: rural electrification and the light of ancient evenings are reconciled within the orbit of a single lifetime. This is a book about origins (not least the origins of words) and oracles: the places where things start from, the ground of understanding - whether in Arcadia or Anahorish, the sanctuary at Epidaurus or the Bann valley in County Derry. Electric Light ranges from short takes (''glosses'') to conversation poems whose cunning passagework gives rein to ''the must and drift of talk''; other poems are arranged in sections, their separate cargoes docked alongside each other to reveal a hidden and curative connection. The presocratic wisdom that everything flows is held in tension with the fixities of remembrance: elegising friends and fellow poets, naming ''the real names'' of contemporaries behind the Shakespearean roles they played at school. These gifts of recollection renew the poet''s calling to assign to things their proper names. The resulting poems are full of delicately prescriptive tonalities, where Heaney can be heard extending his word-hoard and rollcall in this, his eleventh collection.

The Promise of Light - Paul Watkins - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Promise of Light - Paul Watkins - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The year is 1921. Ben Sheridan, a young American, sets out for Ireland to track down his true family, and walks straight into the savagery of the Black-and-Tan war. The Promise of Light is an unforgettable novel of action, a remarkable study of youth, and a work of immense literary distinction by one of Britain''s finest young writers.''His prose is terse and direct, reminiscent of Hemingway, and like the great master he explores the clash of the masculine virtues of courage, loyalty and endurance with treachery and fear.'' Daily Telegraph

The Dying of the Light - Brian Glanville - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Dying of the Light - Brian Glanville - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Len Rawlings was the greatest goal-keeper of his time, but that was long ago. In The Dying of the Light we see a great footballer in sad decline living in wretched obscurity in a Croydon semi-detached. Rejected by his son, he still lives with his wife. Although loyal, she is bewildered and ineffectual. It falls to his school-teacher daughter, Jenny, to be his support. Defying him in childhood, she now feels his plight seeing him as a man who has been cruelly exploited, encouraged to ''live his life backwards'', a man off whose heroics other people once fed their fantasies, and who has been cast aside now he can longer fulfil them. It is Jenny too who cannot bear to see him slipping ignominiously into disgrace, misery and ultimately death, she who wants him to make one final clarion protest against ''the dying of the light''.Though father and daughter they could scarcely be more dissimilar, and their joint narration of the story gives it a strange polarity, an unusual tension. For Jenny, professional football is something trivial, peripheral and adolescent. For Len, it is quite simply his life.

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic - Simon Armitage - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic - Simon Armitage - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Over the course of several years, Simon Armitage has written hundreds of poems for various projects, commissions, collaborations and events, which stand outside of his mainstream collections but now form a substantial body of work in their own right. They vary from single poems, such as ''Zodiac T Shirt'', written to be performed at the launch of Beck’s Song Reader , to the suite of ten poems about Branwell Brontë written at the time of the writer''s bicentenary. Some have been published – such as the Walking Home and Walking Away poems – but the majority has not, and together they cover an eclectic array of subjects including sculpture, the environment, travel, drama, and media. Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic represents the nature and scale of Armitage''s work – it is an important reflection of his public engagement as a poet and the astonishing range of his interests and talents.

Night as It Falls - Jakuta Alikavazovic - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Innocents - A. L. Barker - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A. L. Barker''s debut story collection appeared in 1947 and won the inaugural Somerset Maugham prize, instantly marking her out as a remarkable new talent. Each story describes a crisis in life; each reveals the impact of experience upon innocence, or vice versa.''[Barker''s] remarkable descriptive powers, her feeling for the exact word and the right combination of adjectives are most satisfyingly applied to the evocation of landscape... Barker writes with a subtlety and precision which are as delightful as they are rare.'' Times Literary Supplement ''This collection of eight short stories... introduces an already assured and subtle stylist... There is little pity here, but - if restrained - considerable terror and tragedy, and a precision of observation and treatment which qualify this collection for a critical, fastidious audience.''

The Stubborn Light of Things - Melissa Harrison - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A SUNDAY TIMES NATURE BOOK OF THE YEARA nature diary by award-winning novelist, nature writer and hit podcaster Melissa Harrison, following her journey from urban south London to the rural Suffolk countryside. ''A writer of great gifts.'' Robert Macfarlane ''The journal of a writer to compare to Thomas Hardy. Melissa Harrison is among our most celebrated nature writers.'' John Carey, The Times A Londoner for over twenty years, moving from flat to Tube to air-conditioned office, Melissa Harrison knew what it was to be insulated from the seasons. Adopting a dog and going on daily walks helped reconnect her with the cycle of the year and the quiet richness of nature all around her: swifts nesting in a nearby church; ivy-leaved toadflax growing out of brick walls; the first blackbird''s song; an exhilarating glimpse of a hobby over Tooting Common.Moving from scrappy city verges to ancient, rural Suffolk, where Harrison eventually relocates, this diary - compiled from her beloved Nature Notebook column in The Times - maps her joyful engagement with the natural world and demonstrates how we must first learn to see, and then act to preserve, the beauty we have on our doorsteps - no matter where we live.A perceptive and powerful call-to-arms written in mesmerising prose, The Stubborn Light of Things confirms Harrison as a central voice in British nature writing.

Out of Darkness, Shining Light - Petina Gappah - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Out of Darkness, Shining Light - Petina Gappah - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Prize-winning author Petina Gappah''s tale of Dr Livingstone''s epic journey through nineteenth-century Africa is ‘incredible'' (Yaa Gyasi), ''powerful'' (Jesmyn Ward), and ''beautiful'' (Anthony Doerr). ‘A fine writer.’ J.M. Coetzee ‘ Wonderful.’ The Times ‘Captivating.’ Guardian This is the story of the body of Bwana Daudi, the Doctor, the explorer David Livingstone – and the sixty-nine men and women who carried his remains for 1,500 miles across the African interior so that he could be borne across the sea and buried in his own country . This is the story of those in the shadows of history: those who saved a white man’s bones, his dark companions, who became his faithful retinue on an epic funeral march - little knowing that his corpse carried the maps that sowed the seeds of the continent’s brutal colonisation and enslavement. This is the story of how human bravery, loyalty, and love can triumph over darkness - and it is Petina Gappah''s radical masterpiece. ‘Incredible.’ Yaa Gyasi ‘Beautiful.’ Anthony Doerr‘ Powerful .’ Jesmyn Ward
