- Title
"Through the Forest of Language": For All We Know by Ciaran Carson.
- Authors
Delattre, Elisabeth
- Abstract
Since its publication in March 2008, critics have praised the quality and underlined the originality of the seventy poems that make up For All We Know. The book might be said to mark a new departure in the art of Ciaran Carson in so far as the tone seems to be more personal and more direct, but the choice of the words, their texture, and their sonority remain as always paramount. This article aims at analyzing how the mode of writing adopted here by the poet is directly inspired by the art of the fugue, both in its structure and in its search for a new poetic language reaching beyond reality.
