Synopsis

In "Sketches of Lowly Life in a Great City," Michael Angelo Woolf masterfully captures the intricacies of urban existence, shedding light on the often-overlooked lives of the impoverished populations within metropolitan landscapes. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing society, Woolf employs a vivid and poignant literary style, rich in imagery and emotional depth. His keen observations serve to critique social inequities while simultaneously celebrating the resilience and humanity of those at the margins. Through a series of interconnected vignettes, Woolf's work evokes a sense of empathy, urging readers to reflect on their relationship with the unseen struggles of urban life. Woolf, known for his commitment to social justice, drew on his own experiences in bustling cityscapes to create this compelling narrative. His background as an activist and a keen observer of societal disparities profoundly influences his writing. Woolf's engagement with the working class and his empathy for the disenfranchised inform every character and situation he depicts, providing a layer of authenticity to his work, which resonates with readers across different historical contexts. I wholeheartedly recommend "Sketches of Lowly Life in a Great City" to anyone seeking a profound understanding of urban struggles and the intricacies of human experience. Woolf's evocative prose will not only challenge your perceptions of urban life but also inspire deeper compassion for its inhabitants, making this book an essential read for those interested in social issues, literature, and the art of storytelling.

    Having obtained a higher diploma in edication at University College, Cork, he spent two 'glorious' years in the mountains of southern Tanzania learning and teaching. He subsequently taught at St. Colman's, Fermoy before joining the newly established academic publishing house, Irish University Press in Dublin. When it closed seven years later, there was a period of unemployment before he set ip his own publishing house, Wolfhound Press. He lives in Portmarnock, County Dublin where he is married with three children. 
    The poems in this collection are new and old, and in essence are "attempts to delve into those personal and race memories that from time to time disturb our complacency, or that reflect some of the pleasure there is in remembering one's moments of wisdom amidst the decades of foolishness."

    By the time the Pleistocene Epoch ended around 12,000 years ago, Homo sapiens had become one of the most significant species on the planet. 	It was also near the end of that period of time that modern humans began to gradually populate what would become Europe, Asia, and the Americas, eventually becoming the inheritors of the Paleolithic era and the only human species to make it into the Neolithic era. 	The cold Pleistocene temperatures lowered water levels across the planet, exposing land that was not there before or after the period. At the same time, significant regions of the planet were very different during the Pleistocene, including Southeast Asia, particularly the modern islands of Bali, Borneo, Sumatra, and the Malay Peninsula, roughly equivalent to parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. This region, which modern scholars refer to as Sunda or Sundaland, was unique because all of it was connected by land, meaning today’s islands were once part of a contiguous subcontinent, and in terms of the people, flora, and fauna, it was very different than it is today.  
    Among the most significant water displacement phenomena in the Western world was Doggerland on the northern European continent. The notable inundation occurred in both a steady and eruptive fashion covering a vast stretch of former tundra, a land bridge between today’s British Isles and the European continent. The event brought about the modern English Channel and an expanded North Sea, and unlike the early supercontinents, the inundation of Doggerland took place after the appearance of people. Incrementally submerged since roughly 18,000 years ago as the climate warmed, the patch of sea between Britain and Europe is the subject of much recent scientific scrutiny.
