Selected Poems collects the work of one of our foremost lyric
poets, John Glenday. The elemental themes long associated with
Glenday's name are strongly represented here: the sea, the sky;
light and its absence; the spirit in the secular age; our natural
and human ecologies, how they interact, and how they might survive
the encounter; the transcendent states that arise from the simple
contemplation of the earth; the hidden dimensions that lie behind
familiar objects - and the hells, heavens and secret lives that
hide within their very names. But new readers will also find a
wonderful poet of familial and romantic love, as well as a sly
humourist and satirist; as the book also features work from
long-out-of-print early collections, they will also discover that
Glenday's voice has always been uniquely his own. Glenday shares
with W.S. Graham and Denise Riley an obsession with speech,
silence, and limits of knowledge, and with what form the energies
that flicker along the border might take. John Glenday is poet who
constantly blindsides and moves us, whose direct and pure lyric
brings us, again and again, face-to-face with the mystery of our
being here.
