James Orr, Poet and Irish Radical (Poetry and Song in the Age of Revolution, #5)
by Carol Baraniuk
James Orr (1770-1816) was the foremost of the Ulster Weaver poets. He wrote in both Scots and English and has been favourably compared to his near contemporary Robert Burns.

As in the art of Paul Klee, whose painting gives this book its title, there is a deceptively childlike surface masking a tragic awareness of the human condition. Echoes of fairy tales, folk song and nursery rhymes mingle with nightmarish moments in these sharp, c...

I Primi Due Secoli della Letteratura Italiana, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
by Adolfo Bartoli
A poet whose being was nurtured in a landscape divided by competing conflicts, Kathleen struggled to cross bridges and 'bridge those crosses' ('Lagan') from a position of marginality. Readers will recognise in this collection Kathleen's familiar intellectual and emotional insistence on the need to reverence the spirit. This is nowhere more pronounced than in the final line of the title poem, where Kathleen observes that in order to greet the spirit we need 'To tune the strings to meet her pulsin...
