Gabriel Fitzmaurice was born in 1952, in the village of Moyvane, County Kerry, where he taught in the local elementary school. He is the author of more than forty books, including collections of poetry in English and Irish as well as several collections of verse for children.
Rather than "emotion recollected in tranquillity," many of these short poems encapsulate the aggravations of love untempered by any fireside philosophy. Unrealizable lusts of the eye, unrequited attachment, and moments of realized and imaginary passion are concentrated into cameos and carbuncles - "glimmering tokens of memory." A calmer but no less acquisitive eye is turned on manifestations of nature, while the taken-for-granted basics of our human background - day, night, and the elements - are imbued with beauty and mystery.
A collection of 60 poems written in honor of the author's 60th birthday.
Hands Moving at the Speed of Falling Snow explores a spectrum of conflicting emotions that hold us in their power, including love, loss, joy, and grief. Some poems meticulously describe people and their particular ways, the point of view of the child interwoven with that of the adult. Others show a view of damage from inside a wound; they try to name the unnamable, speak the unspeakable to make sense of acute life experience. Throughout the collection there is a feeling of pause, of an imagination straining to leave the quiet bay for the pitch and roll of the open sea.
