Customer Reviews of The Parchment Boat (Gallery Books)
An exceptional collection by an exceptional writer I had the pleasure of taking a poetry workshop from Moya Cannon in Allihies, Cty. Cork, Ireland in the summer of 1999 and was truly inspired by her work. "The Parchment Boat" draws its name from the mendicant priests and monks who made small rafts from animal skins and set off on the ocean throughout Ireland and the British Isles to spread the gospel. Similarly, Cannon explores the everyday, shared experiences that draw us together. She, seemingly effortlessly, makes us relate to those ancient monks, a breastfeeding mother, the mythic Tristan and Isolde. She finds wisdom in something as mundane as scrubbing hazelnuts, and her work is at once modern and timeless.
As she says in "Hunter's Moon": "There are perhaps no accidents/ no coincidences / When we stumble against people, books, rare moments / Out of time / These are illuminations." Moya Cannon's poetry is one of those illuminations. The simplicity, directness, and power of her words will surely endure this age.
