Translating the beauty and splendor of his native Conamara into a
language exquisitely attuned to the wonder of the everyday, John
O'Donohue takes us on a moving journey through real and imagined
worlds. Divided into three parts -- Approachings, Encounters, and
Distances -- "Conamara Blues" at once reawakens a sense of intimacy
with the natural world and a feeling of wonder at the mystery of
our relationship to this world. Whether exploring the silent,
eternal memory of Conamara or focusing on the power of language and
the vagaries of human need and passion, O'Donohue tenderly reveals
the fragile vulnerability of love and friendship. The result is a
musical, transcendent, and deeply moving series of poems that
exemplifies O'Donohue at his finest.
Written with penetrating insight and distilled transparence,
"Conamara Blues" offers a singular and lasting imaginative vision
of a landscape of hope and possibility -- powerfully exhibiting the
mastery of a poet at the height of his lyric powers.
