In the Blood a Memoir of My Childhood


Book Description

Eschewing the confessional or critical tone of some memoirs, and the investigatory or elucidatory approaches of others, Motion strives to recreate the voice and vision of the boy he once was, taking care not to sully or distort with hindsight what is felt to be still very much alive in memory. Whether recounting his first time salmon fishing in Scotland with his father, the horrors of prep school at the young age of seven, or his discovery of Thomas Hardy and Bob Dylan, Motion imbues his recollections with the quicksilver emotions of the boy he was and the perceptions of the poet he will be; readers of Motion's poetry will recognize many of these experiences as the antecedents of the poems. Yet this memoir is far more than a guide to the life behind the poems; it is a stand against the ineluctability of time's passing, an insistence that what has been "felt in the blood, and felt along the heart," as in the book's title and epigraph from Wordsworth, can be neither taken from us nor los




The Poems of Olivia Elder


Book Description

"Olivia Elder (1735-1780) was the daughter of a prominent New Light Presbyterian minister, John Elder, who ministered to the congregation at Aghadowey near Coleraine. The Family income was supplemented through farming and details from everyday life on a farm and explorations of the implications of Presbyterian theology both appear in the verse of Olivia Elder. Her verse covers a remarkable range of subjects in a considerable variety of poetic styles including epistles, elegies, a pastoral poem, an ode, some songs, many pieces of occasional verse and several outspoken satires referring directly to places and persons she knew. She also produced a parodic verse in Ulster Scots. Though Olivia Elder's work compares very favourably with that of other women poets writing in England and America at the time, her outspokenness and the vividness of her imagery make her poems stand out strongly even in that company. Hers is a highly distinctive, female voice and one that invites us to look again at cultural life in eighteenth-century Ulster. The poems of Olivia Elder have survived as a manuscript in the collections of the National Library of Ireland as NLI, MS 23254. this is the first publication of that manuscript." -- Publisher's website.
