Book description
Following upon Pandemonium (2016) and Prophecy (2019), Plenitude marks a moment of completion and buoyant plenty in a very real and contemporary Irish world. Enriched at all times by a sense of history - the precise histories of heritage gardens, of novelists such as Molly Keane and Waterford neighbours who had gone to the Great War - his is a poetry of both brief formal lyric and longer historical meditation.A working gardener since early childhood, his thoughts return constantly to images of seasonal change within humanised landscapes, to flowers, trees and changing seasons. The plenitude of the present moment in Ireland, its unexpected prosperity, is constantly prised open to reveal painful childhood memories and stressful political meditations.With McCarthy, the past, and the past remembered, is never far from the surface of the poems, and Plenitude contains many such illuminated moments, whether the poet is walking in the great Fota House gardens or pausing at a winter cafe in New York's Upper Westside.

π Adding a touch of magic to mundane tasks β this app turns errands into epic quests! ππ My audiobook collection has never been more organized. Library management is a breeze. ListenBook's compatibility with CarPlay is a major convenience during road trips. The tone adjustment feature is an exciting touch, allowing me to immerse myself even more in the content. This audiobook was neither good nor bad - simply average. The narrator's delivery was professional but uninspired, and the recording quality was clean though not exceptional. It provided satisfactory entertainment without standing out from similar titles.
