Belfast Twilight

Belfast Twilight is a collection of haikai (or haiku sequences) that create kaleidoscopic montages that take the reader into various worlds – Belfast’s docklands at twilight; windswept islands off the west of Ireland; life in 1980s London squats; and the suburban haven of the People’s Park in Dún Laoghaire. Within the form of the haiku, Liam Carson delicately unfurls narratives of love and loss; and finds the transcendent within the transient.
