Renewal

Papillote Press

Much admired by Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, the poetry of the St Lucian poet Irvin Desir is published here for the first time. Often visionary, these poems contain such images as \u201Cfireflies heave for heaven\u201D and \u201Cyou filled this cluttered room like a handful of clove\u201D. Published in only a few anthologies during his life, this posthumous collection at last brings to our attention a voice too long unknown.\nIslander vii\nI shall see you through the cold shoreline\n where the wind carries and slides over the sand\nwherever we search death haunts us\n everywhere the distracted petals have gone\nour words fade, fade like mist over the mountain\n our words add to the silence like lifting dust.\n\nRenewal\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertised is as low as we can go \u2014 we do not accept or respond to offers.
