Synopsis "What we Know so far is …"

The Irish word for shadow, "scáth," is also our word for shelter. In a powerful long poem that captures the disquiet of our age with cinematic language and imagery, Conor Mc Donnell's What We Know So Far Is ... harkens back to the previous century in its daring. Drawing from his Irish heritage, his experience as a pediatrician and many other sources, Mc Donnell has created a work that echoes the scope of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land and Hart Crane's The Bridge. Both ecstatic and challenging, the lines of the poem are filled with allusions and references, with biology shading into history into cultures both ancient and contemporary, where words are predators and "memes disseminate cultural-genes." Through it all runs Mc Donnell's fascination with language, ever shifting, beguiling, mutating, virus-like. In these questioning, DNA-like lines, Mc Donnell shows us how to unmake and remake our understanding of the world.
