註釋From "August"
A nib-line of dawn scrolls across
night's last charcoal sketch,
and in that dark parchment something
is writing you -
your pencilled silhouette shivers but
will not move, waiting for a password ...
Marked by reflectiveness and mature insight, O'Meara's keen sense of lyric structure and subtle cadences explore in contexts both historical and personal the tension between established knowledge and discovery - the centre and horizon of our unfixed selves. These poems - ambitious, rooted, exuberant and controlled, informed by a certain restlessness - unfold in evocative tones of voice to propel a narrative at once intelligent and charismatic, far-ranging yet focussed. A remarkable debut.
David O'Meara is a writer living in Montreal.
