Product Description
As a sports columnist for a Dublin daily, journalist Eamon Carr
watched the unfolding drama of the 2002 World Cup finals firsthand in
Japan. Yet against the intense public spectacle of media attention
following the controversial departure of Ireland captain Roy Keane,
Carr followed his own private journey - a lifelong quest to visit the
shrines and places of the famed poet Matsuo Basho, recognized master
of haiku.
watched the unfolding drama of the 2002 World Cup finals firsthand in
Japan. Yet against the intense public spectacle of media attention
following the controversial departure of Ireland captain Roy Keane,
Carr followed his own private journey - a lifelong quest to visit the
shrines and places of the famed poet Matsuo Basho, recognized master
of haiku.
In a volume of spare, elegant prose and his own haiku chronicling
impressions and revelations of that journey, Carr explores the deep
interrelationships found within the seeming contrasts of ancient and
modern, nation and individual, crowd and solitude, loss and victory.
Histories, memories and legends, as well as the wry personal
observations of the weary working traveller, merge to create this
profoundly moving narrative on the universal nature of grace and
redemption.
