The Image of Love by Jason Timothy Robinson
The Image of Love is a collection of love poems. These poems are the most powerful, romantic poems you'll ever meet.
Experiments on Reality
Long recognized as perhaps the greatest non-fiction writer at work in Ireland, for his vast, polymathic accounts of nature and culture in the Aran Islands and Connemara, Tim Robinson is also an essayist of genius whose fascinations range across the globe. In Experiments on Reality, he shines the light of his intelligence on his own life, and on some of the most fascinating questions in science and culture. Robinson brings us to his boyhood in Yorkshire, National Service in Malaya in the 1950s, and his years as a visual artist in Istanbul, Vienna and London. He revisits some of the scenes of his researches for the maps he made of Aran and Connemara, places that continue to throw up remarkable...
Unfolding Irish landscapes
This is the first scholarly edited collection devoted to the work of the Anglo-Irish writer and cartographer Tim Robinson
Connemara
The first volume of Tim Robinson's Connemara trilogy, Listening to the Wind, covered Robinson's home territory of Roundstone and environs. The Last Pool of Darkness moves into wilder territory: the fjords, cliffs, hills and islands of north-west Connemara, a place that Wittgenstein, who lived on his own in a cottage there for a time, called 'the last pool of darkness in Europe'. Again combining his polymathic knowledge of Connemara's natural history, human history, folklore and topography with his own unsurpassable artistry as a writer, Tim Robinson has produced another classic.
Sir Dancealot
From jiving away trolls to boogying aside bogglesnots and bopping off beasties, there's not a fearsome foe Sir Dancealot can't defeat! But when a fire-breathing dragon arrives at the castle gates demanding a dance-off, everyone is worried. Could this be one step too far for our hero of the dance floor? A hilarious story of sequinned clothes, dragon foes and twinkly toes.
God
This is a book about God. Not just any god, but the god that created Adam and Eve; the god of Abraham, the god of the Jews; the god of the Christians; and the god of Islam---without a doubt, the most influential figure in the history of human civilization. But what do we really know about him? Who is he? Where did he come from? What does he look like? What sort of character does he have? What, if anything, does he eat? Does he have a family? In what ways can he be said to even exist at all? Alexander Waugh has been asking questions like these for as long as he can remember. Now, having drawn from an enormous range of sources, from the sacred books of the Torah, the Christian New Testament, a...
The View from the Horizon
The View from the Horizon is the first attempt to link the work of the artist Timothy Drever with the writings of his alter ego Tim Robinson. Drever's abstract paintings and environmental installations were seen in several exhibitions in London before he moved to the west of Ireland in 1972. Since then, Robinson's maps of the Aran islands, the Burren and Connemara, and his books on the experience of those landscapes, have acquired a devoted readership. Recently, Robinson had occasion to reconsider some Drever constructions dating from just before his disappearance from the London art scene, and recognised in them an abstract foretelling of a suite of images implicit in the later maps and writings. Hence this anxious exploration of the necessity and apparent impossibility of stepping free of one's personal network of metaphors.
Shared Shoes
We wrote Shared Shoes to help people realize that no matter how tough life may be they are not alone. We all share the same issues in life in some way or fashion. For example, We all have some kind of addiction rather it's alcoholism, drug abuse or something as simple as being a shop aholic. These are all shared addictions amongst us as a whole from nation to nation. No matter how rich you are or how poor you may be there is someone in this world that shares the same problems. It is up to us to help our fellow man over come and rise above these issues that hold us prisoners of the mind. We have to realize that we cannot and will not move forward without reaching out to each other for help. We are all walking in shared shoes.
Turnaround
The head of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics organizing committee describes how he assumed the leadership of the troubled organization and turned it around to present one of the most successful Olympic Games ever.
