Carrying the Songs explores what is lost to time and change, and what endures
and is transformed: languages and landscapes, artefacts and songs, carried
through a lifetime, across oceans, across centuries. A long-forgotten Gaelic
word surfaces from childhood and is reanimated by use; a tiny Stone Age carving
speaks across millennia of a shared human impulse to create. At the heart of
this collection is migration, the rhythm that draws together the natural and the
human worlds. Luminous and precise, Moya Cannon's poetry resonates like
remembered songs. Included with the new poems in Carrying the Songs is a
generous selection of the poems from Moya Cannon's much-praised earlier
collections, Oar and The Parchment Boat.
