The Poets and Poetry of Munster: One Hundred Years of Poetry from South Western Ireland

The Poets and Poetry of Munster: One Hundred Years of Poetry from South Western Ireland

Thomas O’Grady
0/5 ( ratings)
This multi-author volume of essays examines the work of over twenty poets from South Western Ireland who write in both English and Irish. Offering overviews of each of the poets’ work, the chapters also focus on significant features of their respective œuvres. Among the poets studied are Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Seán Ó Tuama, John Montague, Gerry Murphy, Thomas McCarthy, Trevor Joyce, and Doireann Ní Ghríofa.

The multifaceted collection addresses the different currents that are significant in the work of these poets, from the Modernism of MacGreevy to the politico-historical approach adopted by Thomas McCarthy. It places poetry in English and Irish side by side and creates a system of echoes that become apparent when the poets’ work is read in conjunction with that of their fellow writers.

The contributors to the volume come from Ireland, the US, and Europe and include confirmed and emerging academics.
