Centuries-old tales and poems from the Celtic world are reborn in "Cinderbiter," a captivating collection that blends the mythic and the sacred. Celebrated mythologist Martin Shaw and award-winning poet Tony Hoagland have breathed new life into these bardic lyrics, folkloric sagas, and heroes' journeys, capturing the rapturous, supernatural imagination of the deep past while imbuing them with a modern, resonant sensibility.
Drawn from the rich oral traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, these works challenge the boundaries between history and myth, authorship and storytelling. Legends of unlikely heroes like Cinderbiter, along with the shrouded origin stories of figures such as Arthur and Merlin, are retold with a fresh, arresting perspective. Alongside these epic narratives, the collection features anonymous, flickering lyrics of elegy, praise, and heartbreak, which retain an austere, devout allegiance to the Christian faith that coexisted with the Celtic worldview.
Through Shaw and Hoagland's collaboration, this storehouse of the Celtic mind is unearthed and reimagined for contemporary audiences. The resulting work is distinctive, audacious, and deeply resonant, speaking to our time and condition with a captivating, otherworldly power. Readers are transported to a realm where the supernatural and the sacred intertwine, where the boundaries between the known and the unknown, the past and the present, are blurred and reimagined.
In these dramatic new retellings, the Celtic poetic tradition is elevated and honored, its timeless themes and rich imagery finding new expression through the creative vision of two masterful storytellers. "Cinderbiter" stands as a rare and remarkable achievement, a testament to the enduring allure of these ancient tales and the transformative power of artistic interpretation.
