Moya Cannon Book order

This volume collects the five major books of one of Ireland's leading writers.

Sixth collection by one of Carcanet's celebrated Irish women poets, who include Eavan Boland, Sinead Morrissey, Mary O'Malley, Martina Evans, and Tara Bergin.

Moya Cannon's new collection reaches back into the long past, showing how traces left behind - textile fragments, buried thimbles, cave paintings - enable us to make imaginative connections with our distant ancestors, emphasising the commonalities of human lives lived many centuries apart.

Written by the prizewinning Irish poet Moya Cannon, this collection explores the effects of time, change, migration, and travel--in both the human and the natural worlds.

Explores what is lost to time and change, and what endures and is transformed: languages and landscapes, artefacts and songs, carried through a lifetime, across oceans, across centuries.
