2010ABE-4544010124392107293Faber & Faber 2010 Louis MacNeice is increasingly recognised as one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century and his work has been a defining influence upon a generation of Irish poets that includes Derek Mahon Michael Longley and Paul Muldoon. The Selected Letters is indispensable as a resource for an understanding of the intellectual culture of the mid-twentieth century. A Classics don poet playwright and globetrotting BBC producer the medley and blend of MacNeice s cultural influences seems exemplary in its modernity. He kept up a significant correspondence with E. R. Dodds Anthony Blunt and T. S. Eliot to name but three prominent figures of the time. During his time at the BBC MacNeice witnessed many key events including the partition of India in 1947 and the independence of the Gold Coast from Britain in 1957 and these are recorded in two long sequences to his wife the singer Hedli Anderson.

2022ABE-1677168016274Hazel Press England 2022 An exquisite book. The twelve gorgeous photographs by Norman McBeath are accompanied by a text by De Waal. The musical term perdendosi almost always comes at the end of a piece and directs sound rhythm and tone to gradually fade and die away. After the leaves have fallen we return To a plain sense of things wrote Wallace Stevens. Perdendosi is a collaborative work by photographer Norman McBeath with ceramicist artist and writer Edmund de Waal. It is a study of leaves at the stage of their transformation when they have lost all colour and become more like parchment than plant taking up the most extraordinary shapes giving the leaves unique identities and character. Many of the photographs were taken at the start of the pandemic in a time of daily news of increasing deaths and infections. Although not a direct response this time had a profound influence on how Norman McBeath saw the leaves. Edmund de Waal s accompanying text Twelve Leaves which he describes as both autobiography and a journal of reading is his own unique and moving response to living with these images for several months during lockdown. With a heightened awareness and increased sensitivity towards the natural world Perdendosi offers a fresh perspective on the familiar. The book is bound in French flaps and the entire production has been carefully done to limit any environmental harm. Printed at The Lavenham Press Suffolk. This production will never be a best seller of course; that is not its purpose. But it is in its small way a gorgeous and quietly aesthetic book. 1st Edition. Soft cover. New/New.
