Tongue of Water, Teeth of Stones
Author: Jonathan Hufstader
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813189624
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
In a 1984 lecture on poetry and political violence, Seamus Heaney remarked that "the idea of poetry was itself that higher ideal to which the poets had unconsciously turned in order to survive the demeaning conditions." Jonathan Hufstader examines the work of Heaney and his contemporaries to discover how poems, combining conscious technique with unconscious impulse, work as aesthetic forms and as strategies for emotional survival. In his powerful study, Hufstader shows how a number of contemporary Northern Irish poets, including Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Michael Longley, Paul Muldoon, Tom Paulin, Ciarán Carson and Medbh McGuckian, explore the resources of language and poetic form in their various responses to cultural conflict and political violence. Focusing on both style and social contexts, Hufstader explores the tension between solidarity and art, between the poet's need to belong and to rebel. He believes that an understanding of the power of lyric points towards an understanding of the source of social violence, and of its cessation.

Fawley's Front Line
Author: Roger Hansford
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750957379
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
In one of the most at-risk areas of the country, fire-fighting and preparedness are no laughing matter. Home to the UK’s largest refinery, Fawley is vulnerable to petrochemical fires making the fire service vital to the town’s infrastructure. Hansford documents the provision and response of the local fire brigades through the century, not least with the threat of terrorism in the modern age. After having been established after several major incidents, Fawley’s fire station was stood down from full- to part-time crewing and for the first time the story of this station and of Waterside’s private fire brigades is told. From loading ships with explosives for war to the development of the fire engine and fire fighting through the century, this book will fascinate firefighters, historians and locals alike.

Towards a Warmer World
Author: Veronika Meduna
Publisher: Bridget Williams Books
ISBN: 0908321740
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 51
Book Description
The year 2014 was the hottest on record since we’ve begun collecting global temperature measurements in 1880. Even at its midway point, 2015 was already promising to take over this dubious record. As new thresholds are breached, acclaimed Radio New Zealand science writer Veronika Meduna explores our future in a warmer world. Beginning with lessons from our ancient geological past, this BWB Text draws on current observations and increasingly sophisticated climate models to describe possible end-of-century scenarios for New Zealand. Distorted ecosystems, extreme weather, new landscapes and adapted foods are just some of the likely changes that amount to a radically different future for our country.
