Description
The Silence by John Greening is a meditation on the creative process and the mystery of art. The title poem explores Sibelius's struggles with an unfinished symphony, reflecting on the nature of inspiration and the silence that can accompany it. Death is a recurring theme in this work, alongside the potentiality of the unknown and the beyond. A tribute to Dennis O'Driscoll also serves as a meditation on hope. The book takes readers on a journey through various landscapes and historical periods, from the Peak District to Ancient Egypt and Finland. Through its exploration of art, loss, and the human experience, The Silence offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of creativity and existence.
