What particularly impresses the reader of his Nightsongs for Gaia: New and Selected Poems is its capaciousness. This book takes us on a journey from his youth, via places of recent conflict such as Myanmar and Libya in a way that few contemporary writers across the globe can match. He makes most poets today look like they're jogging in a bathtub.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eANTONY ROWLAND\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNightsongs for Gaia: New and Selected Poems spans over twenty years of James Byrne's poetic practice. Accomplished in both formal and innovative modes, Byrne's poetry is visionary, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eattentive and curious, encapsulating a global sensibility. Selecting from seven full collections and various pamphlets, Nightsongs brings together works unavailable in England until now. Here we encounter a poetics that works with communities to further consider a sense of self and otherness and is unique in its musicality.

A fiery presence of augury, of premonition, burns from the outset with a wary flame. Byrne has seen many places, been many things, and undergone visceral self-haunting in many guises. To say the Nightsongs are oracular is to understate the poet's own sense of knowingness. Here, exquisite beauty prevails.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKIRSTEN NORRIE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52731381416243,"sku":"9781911469841","price":27.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/3NathoO42g9781911469841_5fc1ccff-b0c9-447b-bd58-13199c70c06f.webp?v=1763855802","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/nightsongs-for-gaia-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
