L'idiot en herbe

This book will bring tears. It will bring healing and it will, over time, help you to find peace and acceptance. If you are struggling with depression, grief or loss, you will find comfort and inspiration in these pages. I too was frozen with grief, pain and depression. I was waiting to die until something beyond my understanding stepped in and I began to write. Each word brought me closer to healing. I have waited almost ten years to assemble this book from my writings, - if indeed they are truly mine. I was told to share my work on social media. I know that they have helped many people and I have included a sample of the most recent comments at the beginning.

When Tears Will Not Come

You will be both entertained and intrigued by the art of Bill Oliver and the author's musings on his dealings with the Faeries.

Faery Fact and Fairy Fiction

Not everybody believes in the little people. We have been blinded by this busy and distracting modern world. Music blares out from passing cars and unwatched televisions fill our heads with inane chat and unwanted advertisements. But, people adapt. They shut out the noises and filter their senses. to find a modicum of peace. I grew up on tales of the little people and I watched them dance in the embers. Then, like most people, I forgot that they were around. In my hurry to grow up, I left behind most of those things which make childhood magical. My creativity became a slave to commerce and I became a cog in the uncaring wheels of industry. There were reprieves of course. When I read to my own children, - I rediscovered, for a little while, the wonder and the magic of childhood. This is the gift which I wish to offer to you.

From the Muse

Patrick Kavanagh fut poète avant tout, ce qui ne l'empêcha pas, tout au long de sa carrière, d'écrire de nombreux textes en prose, autobiographiques et critiques, pour des journaux et des revues littéraires - ce fut souvent son principal moyen d'existence, et aussi pour lui l'occasion de faire connaître son point de vue sur les écrivains du présent comme du passé.
Sur la fonction spirituelle de la poésie, sur son propre parcours, sur son vécu de génie solitaire - pauvre, marginalisé parfois, cerné par la médiocrité (c'est ainsi du moins qu'il voyait les choses) - la prose vient compléter les écrits poétiques : elle nous dit sur Kavanagh tout ce que taisent ses poèmes.  
On trouvera ici l'essentiel des oeuvres brèves en prose qui jalonnent toute la vie de l'écrivain, ses textes autobiographiques légendaires, ses souvenirs de la vie aux champs, ainsi qu'un large choix de ses critiques littéraires, pénétrantes autant qu'acérées parfois. Prose flamboyante et musicale, âpre et véhémente, rageuse et radieuse qui, plus qu'aucune autre, nous fait entendre la voix de l'Irlande rurale des années de l'après-guerre.
