Description - Dark Age by James Harpur
James Harpur's fourth collection includes intimate responses to love, birth and death, and explores faith and vision in searching and unsentimental terms. His powerful poetry gives a new perspective on the travels and travails of early Irish saints and on the Syrian pillar hermit St Symeon Stylites. In these and other poems - about the "Book of Kells", a monk and his 'star-timetable', and translations from Boethius - Harpur's lyric gift finds moments of illumination and grace in the ordinary as well as the miraculous.
