Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Irish word for shadow, scath, is also our word for shelter.In a powerful long poem that captures the disquiet of our age with cinematic language and imagery, Conor Mc Donnells What We Know So Far Is harkens back to the previous century in its daring. Drawing from his Irish heritage, his experience as a pediatrician and many other sources, Mc Donnell has created a work that echoes the scope of T.S. Eliots The Waste Land and Hart Cranes The Bridge.
