Joan Downar

4.9/5 (11098 ratings)

Description:Joan Downar is an ex-librarian and ex-teacher who lives in the country outside Nottingham. The Old Noise Of Truth, her second Peterloo collection, opens with a subtle and moving sequence of ‘Poems From India’. A second (larger) section of ‘Poems From England’ offers a great variety of accessible and technically accomplished poems that constantly surprise and disturb with their depth of feeling and moral insight.From reviews of Joan Downar’s first collection, The Empire Of Light (Peterloo Poets, 1984):“Joan Downar’s first collection, The Empire Of Light, is lucid but artful. It takes its title from a painting by René Magritte of an evening scene, street-lit, below a bright, summery, day-time sky: dislocation of the expected depending on the juxtaposition of contradictory naturalistic views rather than any outrageous shock. It is an image which is particularly appropriate to Downar’s work. Her poetry naturalizes its suprises and throws daylight on the concerns of evening . . . an unfussy movement between different moods and different levels of meaning is characteristic of Downar’s poetry. . . . Particularly impressive are the poems written to a friend dying in New Zealand and the rather Marvellian poems about gardens in which she envokes a ‘tenuous / Eden’ . . . Downar’s art is not concerned with drawing attention to itself, yet her wry indirection demonstrates most her seriousness as a poet.”Tim Dooley, Times Literary Supplement“The Empire Of Light contains a number of graceful poems on love and childhood. At her best [Joan Downar] moves smoothly from one image to the next, almost as if she were telling a story . . . There are some dozen or so really good poems here where the electricity runs straight through.”George Szirtes, Poetry Review---Con una dedica della poetessa alla Summer School della Loughborough University nel 1990:"Let us sing of great things!
