Description
Keats Lives is Moya Cannon's fifth collection of poems. Characteristically rich in the moods and rhythms of her western Irish homeland, it also explores contemplation of the disasters of previous centuries. Cannon seeks to understand how to heal 'wounded, wounding ground' through conversation - the conversion - between politics and ecology. The poet describes the natural world with humane energy, alongside warzones and prison camps. Her poems balance these extremes, finding common ground in the symbolic curia of the museum and library. Objects are pursued beyond their material presence into their haunted pasts, revealing a deeper understanding of our shared human experience. Cannon's poems take wing from this symbolic space, exploring the connections between people and the world around them.
