Opis

The poems of Ranald Macdonald show a unique imagination at work. His subjects are diverse, from the classical world of Egypt and Greece, to a celebration of nature, to the intimacies of personal relationships, all handled with a light, expert touch. The exploration is probing, but always sensitive, with an exquisite eye for the bright original image. From the entirely transparent, direct, statement, to complexities which take us into new emotional and intellectual territory, these poems have an impressive agility. There is a metaphysical quality to them which excites the mind, but their fine, gentle, knowing touch also stirs the heart. .."both the thought and the language are lucid and positive" Kathleen Raine, From The naming of the Beasts, Chapman Publishing 1996 "In these poems there are enquiry and wonder as well as a quiet spirituality which transcends the sectarianism of the European experience" Richard Montgomery, From Lapwing Publications, 2nd Collection "Mankind is the world's focus of meaning...though contentious humanism is a key...the book is saturated with religious consciousness." Basil du Tout, Lines review 143, December 1997 'The poems open the door to a realm that gives me deep spiritual peace. I feel so thankful that I found his words, they are a real treasure... I think he touched with his words a realm that is beyond words and that realm can never be destroyed, even when the words are missing." Annerose De Czuyenaire Royalties from this book are being donated to 'Cois Nore', the wonderful cancer support centre in Kilkenny, Ireland, from whom Ranald and his family received so much love and support during his illness. http: //www.coisnore.ie
