        <abstract language="eng"><![CDATA[ The Twelfth of Never, published in 1998 by Ciaran Carson, is composed of seventy-seven poems in the form of the French sonnet. This collection embodies the poet’s ever-recurring preoccupations with the representation of the world, both past and present, through the medium of language.
