Daly's latest collection of poems is set in a challenging place, \"our unGodded world\", as one poem calls it, \"our infected kingdom\", another. It is a place of darkness and heaviness of the soul, where things are left unfinished or in ruins and the sun goes down \"protesting\". But it is also a place that is somehow redeemed, a place made, if only momentarily, radiant by the perception of a greater design, by the vision of \"a yellow ecstasy of leaves\" in the street, and, most of all, by the guileless love and affection of the young whose laughter \"lights \/ Every cobwebbed corner \/ Of our hearts\". As in his previous books, God in Winter includes a number of Daly's versions of early Irish poems, remarkable for their simplicity and lightness of touch. At a time when what might be called 'poetry of faith' goes against the prevailing fashion, Daly makes a distinctive 'good news' out of accumulated small perceptions that between them offer solace and seek to counterbalance the troubles of the human heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dedalus Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47595890376855,"sku":"9781910251065","price":1563.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781910251065.webp?v=1774991591","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/god-in-winter-9781910251065","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
