O knihe
The poems in this book have transitions in common - from death and dying, whether accidental or planned, to milestones such as a son leaving home etc. There's love palpably felt after death and beyond it, little epiphanies from near-disasters, the whole subject of death from many different angles - the news that breaks us, how our lives are enlarged by telling moments. The title poem "Irresistible" and "Tandem Hang-Gliding Incident" embody our human failings and the unnecessary accidental deaths we suffer as a result. But also, physically, death is inevitable and therefore irresistible - we can't resist it. It will happen sooner or later: our first breath inspires our last, so to speak, and our last - for those believing there's more beyond our bodies - inspires our first on a different plane. The awareness of limited time allows an appreciation for the preciousness of life in all its forms (animal journeys as well as human ones) while offering buoys of humour, irony and joy throughout these pages.
