Poetry. The fifth publication of ADVENT, 40 years after Brian Coffey circulated a foolscap Advent Books edition of 25 to family and friends in 1974. Long out of print and in danger of neglect, an extraordinary, certainly mysterious, long poem. Two decades in gestation and composition, the spatial complexities of the poetry have been resolved for this very large scale edition. On one level a poem about a mother's morning for her son killed in a motorbike accident, it is an 8 section poem based on the canonical hours of the Catholic church. Coffey's poetry was described by Samuel Beckett as constituting the nucleus of a living poetic in Ireland.
