Limits of Orality and Textuality in Ciaran Carson??Poetry

Czemial presents students, academics, and literary critics with a linear exploration of the tension between textuality and orality in the evolution of Northern-Irish poet Ciaran Carson's work. The author has organized the main body of his text in three chapters, devoted to the dialectics of orality and textuality, city, memory, and history as three mazes, and the limits of knowledge and the space of the poem. Specific works examined include For All We Know, On the Night Watch, Until Before After, and others. Grzegorz Czemial is a faculty member of Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Poland.
