<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>"It was dusk, when the dark earth stains the blueing air <br> and soothes bird in tall tree and beast in silent lair; <br> I alone amidst all that hush of soil and leaf <br> prepared for the war of the way and the way's great grief, <br> of which an undistracted heart may speak or sing..."</i><p>Published to coincide with the 700th anniversary of Dante's death, Ned Denny's baroque, line-by-line reimagining - the follow-up to his Seamus Heaney Prize-winning collection <i>Unearthly Toys</i> - shapes the Divine Comedy into nine hundred 144-syllable stanzas. Audacious, provocative and eminently readable, tender and brutal by turns, rooted in sacred doctrine yet with one eye on the profane modern world, this poet's version - in the interpretative tradition of Chapman, Dryden and Pope - is a living, breathing Dante for our times. Hell has never seemed so savage, nor heaven so sublime</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ned Denny was born in London in 1975. He has worked as a postman, art critic, book reviewer, music journalist, and gardener. His debut collection Unearthly Toys: Poems & Masks was published by Carcanet in 2018.
