Sobre IBD

Tig is the last part of a vast poetic undertaking by Irish poet Maurice Scully that bears the overall title Things That Happen. (Earlier parts are the trilogy Five Freedoms of Movement, Livelihood, and Sonata; Tig is the coda to the whole work.) Twenty-five years in the writing, Things That Happen is an epic in the way that Pound’s Cantos were epic: a vortex that pulls in content, influences, autobiography, observation and language(s). Although part of a greater whole, Tig can be read perfectly well on its own.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

  • Several Dances
    Maurice Scully
    This book is not a ’collection’ of ’poems’, or not quite. Something odd is going on: things repeat, vary, develop, disappear to reappear skewed and the book ends, then doesn’t. And the ’poems’ involve events in literature, poetry we all know, and some we don’t, and the writing brings them in a dance across time into the mind along with the life of the moment. Moments in time ar...
