Om denne bog
The poems in One Little Room enter and explore confined spaces in history and personal memory. The spaces prove not to be as small as they seem from the outside: they expand and interconnect to produce new and dazzling perspectives out of the limits of concentrated meditation and formal shape alike.Poems inhabit the surroundings of a Belfast childhood, pushing these into dimensions where time and space play tricks on memory and circumstance. Boxes, lost travelling trunks, and small volumes enclosed in the dark are transformed into bright gateways to freshly imagined realities. Public and private histories undergo radical reconstruction in the sequence ''Centenary'', where a hundred years of Northern Ireland and the century since the birth of the poet''s father coincide to produce a different kind of history; a series of discursive poems addressed to different women mark, like standing stones, the book''s developing engagements with past, present and future. In this, his eighth collection, Peter McDonald effects transformations of memory and history, loss and love.
