A Guardian / Herald Scotland Book of the Year Winner of the 2017
PEN Pinter prize Shortlisted for the 2017 Forward Prize A remote
townland in County Mayo, Carrigskeewaun has been for nearly fifty
years Michael Longley's home-from-home, his soul-landscape. Its
lakes and mountains, wild animals and flowers, its moody seas and
skies have for decades lit up his poetry. Now they overflow into
Angel Hill, his exuberant new collection. In addition, Longley has
been exploring Lochalsh in the Western Highlands where his daughter
the painter Sarah Longley now lives with her family. She has opened
up for him her own soul-landscape with its peculiar shapes and
intense colours. In Angel Hill the imaginations of poet and painter
intermingle and two exacting wildernesses productively overlap.
Love poems and elegies and heart-rending reflections on the Great
War and the Northern Irish Troubles add further weight to Michael
Longley's outstanding eleventh collection. Angel Hill will
undoubtedly delight this great poet's many admirers.
