Book of Days is a remarkable long poem that takes readers on a captivating journey along the renowned pilgrimage route, known as the Camino de Santiago, in northern Spain. Enlivened by song and conversation, the poem weaves a rich tapestry of stories, capturing the experiences of the people encountered along the way. Through a multi-voiced soundscape and vivid verbal sketches of landscape and architecture, the poem offers a captivating blend of sound and vision. What makes this poem particularly intriguing is its exploration of the possibilities and contradictions of a twenty-first-century pilgrimage. While inevitably influenced by tourism and technology, it also presents unique opportunities for fellowship and connection in an age characterized by individualism and rootlessness. Book of Days can be interpreted as a travel memoir, a meditation on community and solitude, friendship and sisterhood, and spirituality. As pilgrims embark on their journey, they carry with them certain expectations, and what they discover along the way complements and expands their understanding of their quest.
Phoebe Power's debut collection, Shrines of Upper Austria (Carcanet, 2018), received critical acclaim and was recognized as a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. It was also shortlisted for the prestigious 2018 T. S. Eliot Prize and went on to win the 2018 Forward (Felix Dennis) Prize for Best First Collection. Book of Days, the second installment in Power's poetic journey, builds upon the formal and thematic concerns of its predecessor. While traversing new paths, it retains the same restless curiosity and celebratory wonder that characterized the first book. Through its vivid imagery and thoughtful exploration of human experiences, Book of Days continues to captivate readers and invite them to embark on their own personal pilgrimages of discovery and self-reflection.
