Europa, Sean O'Brien's ninth collection of poems, is a timely and
necessary book. Europe is not a place we can choose to leave: it is
also a shared heritage and an age-old state of being, a place where
our common dreams, visions and nightmares recur and mutate. In
placing our present crises in the context of an imaginative past,
O'Brien show how our futures will be determined by what we choose
to understand of our own European identity - as well as what we
remember and forget of our shared history. Europa is a magisterial,
grave and lyric work from one of the finest poets of the age: it
shows not just a Europe haunted by disaster and the threat of
apocalypse, but an England where the shadows lengthen and multiply
even in its most familiar and domestic corners. Europa, the poet
reminds us, shapes the fate of everyone in these islands - even
those of us who insist that they live elsewhere.
