註釋

The word 'because' recurs so often in Eamon Grennan's vibrant new collection that it signals an ongoing impulse to answer questions of being, and of being a body. Whether attending to the quietude of a Connemara mare or the frantic vitality of a wren in a bush or a painting's mesmerizing details, whether contemplating the destruction of innocent victims of political violence or measuring the effects of time in domestic or erotic contexts, his imagination - at once elegiac, sceptical and celebratory - continues to wrestle with attempts to say what it means to be alert in the moment, whether the moment opens into memory or is lodged exactly in a present fact. His poems, reviews and essays have appeared in many magazines in Ireland and the US. Leopardi: Selected Poems received the 1997 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, and Still Life with Waterfall received the 2003 Lenore Marshall Award for Poetry from the American Academy of Poets.
