Sinopsis

R.S. Thomas has always posed difficult questions in his poems and forced readers to confront uncertainities, ambiguities and the equivocal and paradoxical nature of our experience of life. In Mass for Hard Times, he has drawn together a collection which encompasses all his major areas of questioning. Here are poems about time and history, about the self, about language and the writing of poetry, about love, the machine, the Cross and prayer. In many of the poems clusters of these concerns are movingly and unforgettably imaged in both familiar and new ways: the sea and ships, journeys and travellers, painting, mirrors, science and geological time are intertwined as he questions and reflects. What is most powerful and original here is the humour and irony of his voice, and his use of some of the classic structures of modern consciousness – the form of the Mass and liturgy, children’s rhymes, the seasons and the sonata.

Reseña del editor

Dufour Editions, an independent publisher and distributor for more than forty years, has an established reputation as a fine literary house. International poetry has always been outstanding in the list, which initially began with some of Thomas Kinsella's and John Montague's first books from the prestigious Dolmen Press.Since those early days, the complete poetry list has grown to include prize-winning poets from twenty-nine countries. Many of the poets have toured and been interviewed in the U.S. Some are Nobel Prize winners. This catalog introduces some highly regarded poets from publishers whose lists are being distributed in the U.S. and Canada for the first time.The rewards in publishing poetry are sometimes sublime, as opposed to commercial, but reader response over the years has justified our commitment. The strength of the list is evidenced on this page, on which we salute recent prize-winners whose books are currently being read throughout the world.
