The figure of the horse recurs: we encounter the twin steeds of the warrior Cúchulainn as well as the champion Thoroughbred Red Rum. Both Celtic Brigid and Greek Hephaestus appear as gods of the forge. Amid a powerful Irish literary heritage including Yeats, Joyce and Heaney are painterly translations of Neruda and Lorca. Stay Winter captures the ‘thing of beauty’ and the ‘dark thing’ as the poet confronts the shadow aspects of the self. It conjures a compelling wintry realm in which love is made and remade anew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperwing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59102414668107,"sku":"9780571401727","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/0643\/5403\/files\/9780571401727.jpg?v=1793626152","url":"https:\/\/paperwing.co.uk\/products\/stay-winter","provider":"Paperwing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
