The journey of Eva Bourke's eighth collection of poems is one of bereavement, heartbreak and, ultimately, renewal. In poems that record - with courage and tenderness - the loss of loved ones, of close family and friends, there is throughout a refusal to soften the keen gaze and precise detail for which her work is so often praised, as if the poet's role is ever to be witness, guardian and curator. Instead of heartbreak enforcing a retreat from the world, rather it seems to strengthen her commitment to those in danger ("the boats adrift in the night / and the storms that sweep them overboard" - 'Twenty-eight Swimmers') and her belief in the power of art and music as both consolation and celebration, an engagement that has been the heart of her work over many years. As she says in 'The Singer's Fable', in memory of Mary McPartlan: "Sing, even if your hearts are heavy, even if your houses are on fire, rise up and sing."
PRAISE FOR EVA BOURKE
"[T]he maturity and wide sympathy of this poet's vision is everywhere in evidence. The formal and tonal variety achieved by Bourke in this volume ['Seeing Yellow'] is also very pleasing.... Warmly recommended."-Caitriona O'Reilly, The Irish Times
"These poems suggest that the soul is an enduring gentleness in us, in others, in perhaps everything, and that it needs us to release it, to let it breathe, to nourish it with what we create rather than destroy."-Fred Marchant on 'piano'
