Insomnia
Buch
The Australian poet John Kinsella's vivid and urgent new collection addresses our current crisis of being. Here, Kinsella's restless, unblinking gaze takes in a world where art, music and philosophy - the highest creations of the human imagination, the very means by which we extend our human empathy - suddenly find themselves in a time and place that not only denies their importance, but can seem to have no use for them at all.

Beschreibung
The Australian poet John Kinsella's vivid and urgent new collection addresses our current crisis of being. Here, Kinsella's restless, unblinking gaze takes in a world where art, music and philosophy - the highest creations of the human imagination, the very means by which we extend our human empathy - suddenly find themselves in a time and place that not only denies their importance, but can seem to have no use for them at all. In an attempt to find a still point from which we might reconfigure our perspective and examine the paradox of our contemporary experience, Kinsella has written poems of self-accusation and angry protest, meditations on the nature of loss and trauma, and full-throated celebrations of the natural world. Ranging sleeplessly from Jam Tree Gully, Western Australia to the coast of West Cork, Ireland, haunted by historical and literary figures from Dante to Emily Brontë (whom Kinsella has obsessed over since he was a child, and who intervenes in the poet's attempts to come to grips with ideas of colonisation and identity), Insomnia may be Kinsella's most concentrated and powerful collection to date.
