John Montague is the senior figure in Irish poetry, as both poet and critic, representative of a generation before Heaney and Mahon. This selection, based on his Collected Poems published by Gallery Press in 1995, has been chosen by the poet himself. A spokesman for his people, the rural Catholics of northern Ireland, and haunted by their history, he also brings an international, modernist sensibility to his writing. 'His lyrics evoke the landscapes and heritage of rural Ireland in a fine, spare diction' Oxford Companion to English Literature
