Animal familiars abound, and the figure of the horse recurs: we encounter the twin steeds of the warrior Cú Chulainn along with the champion thoroughbred Red Rum. Languages and mythologies combine – both Celtic Brigid and Greek Hephaestus appear as gods of the forge. There are pieces drawn from a powerful Irish literary heritage, including Yeats, Joyce and Heaney, as well as painterly translations of Neruda and Lorca.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStay Winter\u003c\/i\u003e captures the ‘thing of beauty’ and the ‘dark thing’ as the poet confronts the shadow aspects of the self. It conjures a compelling wintry realm – ‘forest wilderness’, ‘tenuous sky’ – in which love is made and remade anew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58421133607294,"sku":"9780571401727","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1331\/9925\/files\/1794227519.jpg?v=1794227714","url":"https:\/\/www.poetrybooks.co.uk\/products\/stay-winter-by-nidhi-zak-aria-eipe","provider":"The Poetry Book Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
