Beschreibung:
Ian Burgham was born in Auckland, New Zealand and raised in Canada. He has lived in New Zealand and subsequently in Scotland, where he attended the University of Edinburgh and, more recently, worked as an editor and publisher. His poetry books include A Confession of Birds (2003), The Stone-Skippers (2007), The Grammar of Distance (2010), and The Unquiet (2012). He has performed his work in many venues, published in a number of literary journals, and toured the UK, reading at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and at Canada House in London. He lives with his wife at his lakeside home near Sydenham, Ontario.
Midnight presents the thoughts of a restless traveller to such places as Istanbul, Edinburgh, Montreal, Toronto, the coast of Scotland, and towns and cities in Ireland, France, Italy, and Greece. In those settings, he meditates on the nature of our many kinds of love against the background, in his own life, of its betrayals, losses and disappearances; and he mounts an investigation into the nature of existence, against the backdrop of the certainty that we are fundamentally and finally alone. The book reveals a radical imagination working at the heart of things: in and through the darkness that precedes the light.
