This collection of essays and poems is a celebration of the life and work of Daniel Massa, poet and scholar, who was born in Żabbar, Malta, on 1 December 1936. The generic variety of the contents reflects not only Daniel’s intricate character but also the complex nature of the postcolonial, which Daniel, in many way, embodies in his life and work.
Micheal O’Neill, Durham University –
“This is a deeply satisfying and thought-provoking collection in honour of Daniel Massa, a poet, teacher and scholar of great distinction. Essays, poems and recollections coalesce to give a powerful sense of how Massa’s career and writing are simultaneously independent and bound up with the evolving post-colonial identity of Malta. The reader gains continually brilliant insights into concerns relevant to a poet-scholar of integrity and passion who engages with the here and now in the light of long perspectives of many kinds. Anyone interested in Daniel Massa, Malta’s history and culture, the post-colonial and ways of understanding major aspects of our global present will want to read this finely assembled and edited volume.”
