This study considers the full range of his oeuvre, in poetry, prose, and translations, and discusses the major themes to which he returns, including: memory and history, narrative, language and translation, mapping, violence, and power. It argues that the singularity of Carson?s writing is to be found in his radical imaginative engagements with ideas of space and place. The city of Belfast, in particular, occupies a crucially important place in his texts, serving as an imaginative focal point around which his many other concerns are constellated. The city, in all its volatile mutability, is an abiding frame of reference and a reservoir of creative impetus for Carson?s imagination. Accordingly, the book adopts an interdisciplinary approach that draws upon geography, urbanism, and cultural theory as well as literary criticism. It provides both a stimulating and thorough introduction to Carson?s work, and a flexible critical framework for exploring literary representations of space. 606 $aPoetry$2bicssc 610 $aruimte 610 $abelfast 610 $aeigentijdse poezie 610 $acontemporary poet 610 $aspace 610 $aCiaran Carson 615 7$aPoetry 700 $aAlexander$b Neal$0801040 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910477337303321 996 $aCiaran Carson$91802400 997 $aUNINA
