Description: "In a frantic world, the momentary glimpse can spark a sudden flash of insight. This resonating glimpse - caught on the move - ripples through the mind, illuminating past and present, fast-forwarding in a split second to reveal future possibilities. But in an instant it is gone, lost in the bustle of everyday life." "Keats wrote of the blindness that accompanies the sense of purpose. In Glimpses, Brendan Kennelly opens his eyes - and ours - to the world and times we rush through without looking. With their quickfire wit and timeless wisdom, his glimpse-poems are short, quizzical word-creatures in the tradition of riddles, epigrams and proverbs."--BOOK JACKET.
