(Humming is Maurice Scully's first full-length book of new...)
Humming is Maurice Scully's first full-length book of new work since his Things That Happen project (1981-2006). Dedicated to the poet's late brother, it places human life in the larger frame of history and pre-history, of a world in drifts of pollen, and other life possibilities over large stretches of time, as well as the domestic & everyday, in which the poetry can score its pollen-like trace knowing

Maurice Scully was born in Dublin in 1952 and spent his childhood between Clare, the Ring Gaeltacht (or Irish-speaking part of Ireland) and Dublin. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, after which he spent some restless decades between Ireland, Italy, Greece and Africa. In a writing career that began in the early '70s he has published over a dozen volumes of poetry and taken part in conferences and festivals in the UK & US where his readings are prized as key interpretations of his complex, engaging work. The selection in this volume, subtitled A Sampler of Work 1987-2008, was made by the poet himself and draws on the extensive Things That Happen project (1981-2006), as well as three new books, Several Dances, Humming & Work.

Several Dances
(This book is not a 'collection' of 'poems', or not quite....)
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 are not frozen, things that happen are not selected, highlighted and described. They just happen. Fluid energy is taken on for what it is, and that's the way things are.
