John Burnside – New Poetry and Prose
It’s always a pleasure to hear John Burnside read and for Aye Write this year we have not one, but two new books. His latest poetry collection Still Life with Feeding Snake, whose poems live at the edge of loss, or on the cusp of epiphany, always seeking that brief instant of grace when we see what is before us, and not just what we expected to find. Also his latest novel Ashland & Vine, the story of an unlikely friendship that transcends time, age and the limits of narrative to reveal the unexpected grace that comes of listening to another’s history, while telling, as carefully as we can, what we know of our own.
