Description: |
Night Office is a 7,000 line poem concerning the manners in which the invisible life of the soul throws off from itself tunes, colours, times, histories and nations. It listens out, through its long white night, for the silencing of human sounds - as these last fall asleep into their signs. |
Synopsis: |
Night Office is the initial publication from among a small set of long poems for which the collective title is The Calendar. Each poem relates to the others as the points, not in a line, but of a star: none need be considered as first or last. Each explores those manners in which the invisible life of the soul throws off from itself tunes, colours, times, histories and nations; each, from verse constraints upon syllable and intonation, works towards the concrete freedoms of poetic thinking. Night Office listens out, through its long white night, for the silencing of human sounds - as these last fall asleep into their signs. - S.J. |
