John Montague Boeken

As one of the groundbreaking poets from Ulster, John Montague was significant in the development of postwar Irish, British, and American poetry. His early poems reflect the political and sectarian divide of his native County Tyrone, explore his Catholic upbringing, and moving record a ritualized lifestyle that in Ireland has been fast fading from view. In later years, Montague’s American and European interests became as apparent as his Irish ones, making him a bridge to the younger generation of Irish poets. Undertaken by Montague and Elizabeth Wassell prior to the poet’s death in December 2016, this selection includes work from fourteen volumes written over more than fifty years. With a preface by Wassell

Ein einundzwanzigjähriger puritanischer Ire im Heiligen Jahr auf Pilgerreise in der ewigen Stadt: das ist der Ausgangspunkt der autobiographisch gefärbten erotischen Novelle von John Montague , dem ersten Prosatext des Autors seit „Anlass der Sünde“ (1964, dt. 1969). Im Florenz der klassischen Renaissancemalerei begegnet der peregrinus hibernicus einer jungen amerikanischen Künstlerin, und die spirituelle Wallfahrt zur Porta Sacra – halb Flucht, halb Suche – schlägt um in eine Odyssee zu den Mysterien des Sexus. In einem gemeinsamen Notizbuch halten die ungleichen Liebhaber, der sensible irische Provinzler und die altkluge, weltstädtische Amerikanerin, in Zeichnungen und Versen ihre unterschiedlichsten Wahrnehmungen fest. Aus dem Abstand von Jahrzehnten schildert Montague mit großer Könnerschaft den Zusammenstoß verschiedener Kulturen, von Erotik und Artistik, Unschuld und Erfahrung, Lust und Schmerz. Seine durchkomponierte Novelle über sexuelle und künstlerische Durchgangsriten „strahlt eine leuchtende Sinnlichkeit aus“. ( Irish Literary Supplement )
