Clowns & Acrobats
Seamus Cashman
How close are we to myth, race memory? Do they infiltrate our minds?
Seamus Cashman's new collection, Clowns & Acrobats, swerves headily into a modern world of questionings, parenthood, relationships, conscience and death, while eyeing the poet;s close personal sense of history and celebratory myth. The exercise of power, the eccentricity of ideas, the magic of imaginings, the flow of language, an incredible musicality and the use – and abuse – of traditional forms here merge to delight the reader.
