Beschreibung

<p><b>*SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE *<br><br>In this remarkable second collection, Seán Hewitt describes a journey haunted by love, loss and estrangement - from one of the <i>Sunday Times</i> 30 under 30 in Ireland<br><br>'Points to a bright future for Irish poetry' </b><i>SUNDAY TIMES</i><br><br><b>'An exquisitely calm and insightful lyric poet' </b>MAX PORTER<br><br><b>'Amazing writing of breathtaking power'</b> IRVINE WELSH<br><br>As the mind wanders and becomes spectral, these poems forge their own unique path through the landscape. The road Hewitt takes us on is a sleepwalk into the nightwoods, a dream-state where nature is by turns regenerated and broken, and where the split self of the speaker is interrupted by a series of ghosts, memories and encounters.<br><br>Following the reciprocal relationship between queer sexuality and the natural world that he explored in <i>Tongues of Fire</i>, the poet conjures us here into a trance: a deep delirium of hypnotic, hectic rapture where everything is called into question, until a union is finally achieved - a union in nature, with nature.<br><br>A threnody for what is lost, a dance of apocalypse and rebirth, <i>Rapture's Road </i>draws us through what is hidden, secret, often forbidden, to a state of ecstasy. It leads into the humid night, through lethal love and grief, and glimpses, at the end of the journey, a place of tenderness and reawakening.</p>
