Description
The Island begins with a haunting 1848 journal entry from a man jailed on Spike Island in Ireland: "Gazing on gray stones, my eyes will grow stony." Nearly 150 years later, Rosemary Canavan, a poet and painter, teaches literacy at the prison on Spike Island. How do her painter's eyes and poet's spirit meet the stony gray of prisoners' eyes? Throughout these poems, and especially in her long sequence "The Island," Canavan explores with tenderness and pathos the plight of the incarcerated. With lyrics that seem to be written in primary color, Canavan also celebrates love and children, her struggles as a working mother, and the emerging, vibrant feminist consciousness of a new generation of Irish women.
