Sinossi

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.

    Cork born Seamus Cashman is the founder of one of Ireland's leading literary and cultural publishing houses, Wolfhound Press. Previous poetry collections are: Carnival and Clowns & Acrobats. He edited two landmark anthologies for young readers, The Wolfhound Press Book of Irish Poems for Young People (1975) still in print, and Something Beginning with P: new poems from Irish poets (2004). He is a publishing consultant and writing tutor. He lives in Portmarnock. 
The new poems in this collection reflect Cashman's sense of place and of the spiritual groundings of daily life characteristic of his early poems. Secrets, a sequence of thirteen poems written following a visit to Palestine– such as 'The Seperation Wall', 'Random Contact', 'Exceptions To The Truth', – are passionate responses to contemporary political tragedy, abuse of human rights, and love of homeland (tír grá). Poems in section two, Opening Doors, dance between childhood and parenthood, catch glimpses in mirrors and are 'Flying Skies'. Here are accessible, confident poems by a poet whose lyrical voice captivates.
